I am trying to load an assembly during run-time and subscribe to its events. In my scenario the dll file has an ADD method that gets two integers as arguments and raises an event with a custom event argument that contains the sum.
Here is a part of my code to load the Dll file:
Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFile(@"C:\Projects\Dll1.Dll");
Type typ = asm.GetType("DLL1.Class1", true, true);
var method = typ.GetMethod("add");
var obj = Activator.CreateInstance(typ);
EventInfo ev1 = typ.GetEvents()[0]; // just to check if I have the proper event
Type tDelegate = ev1.EventHandlerType; // just to check if I have the proper delegate
method.Invoke(obj, new object[] { 1, 0 });
But, I have no idea how to subscribe to the event raised by the assembly. Any help would be appreciated.
Added: example DLL source
namespace Dll1
{
public class Class1
{
int c = 0;
public void add(int a, int b)
{
c = a + b;
if (Added !=null)
Added(this, new AddArgs(c));
}
public delegate void AddHandler(object sender, AddArgs e);
public event AddHandler Added;
}
public class AddArgs : EventArgs
{
private int intResult;
public AddArgs(int _Value)
{
intResult = _Value;
}
public int Result
{
get { return intResult; }
}
}
}
Just take the ev1
you already have and call AddEventHandler
like this:
ev1.AddEventHandler(obj, MyEventHandlerMethod);
however, you'll want to make sure you cleanup the handler by calling RemoveEventHandler
so that garbage collection can occur.
ev1.RemoveEventHandler(obj, MyEventHandlerMethod);
