Question

I am wondering if it is possible (and what the syntax would be) to send an object’s method to a function.

Example:

Object "myObject" has two methods "method1" and "method2"

I would like to have a function along the lines of:

public bool myFunc(var methodOnObject)
{
   [code here]
   var returnVal = [run methodOnObject here]
   [code here]
   return returnVal;
}

So that in another function I could do something like

public void overallFunction()
{
   var myObject = new ObjectItem();
   var method1Success = myFunc(myObject.method1);
   var method2Success = myFunc(myObject.method2);
}

Answer 1

Is there really a need for explicit delegates? Maybe this approach would help you:

private class MyObject
{
    public bool Method1() { return true; } // Your own logic here
    public bool Method2() { return false; } // Your own logic here
}

private static bool MyFunction(Func<bool> methodOnObject)
{
    bool returnValue = methodOnObject();
    return returnValue;
}    

private static void OverallFunction()
{
    MyObject myObject = new MyObject();

    bool method1Success = MyFunction(myObject.Method1);
    bool method2Success = MyFunction(myObject.Method2);
}
