I want to call for example TryDo.Do(MessageBox.Show(""), null);

how can I do that??

        {
            try
            {
                return new CallResult (action.DynamicInvoke(args), action.Method.ReturnType, true);

    Your code calls MessageBox.Show, then tries to pass the result to TryDo.
    Since MessageBox.Show doesn’t return a Delegate, that won’t work.

    Instead, you should pass the Show method itself, along with a parameter:

    TryDo.Do(new Func<string, DialogResult>(MessageBox.Show), "");
    

    Alternatively, you can pass an anonymous method that calls the function:

    TryDo.Do(new Action(() => MessageBox.Show("")));
    

    Note that your function will perform faster if you make generic overloads that take Funcs and Actions instead of taking a Delegate and calling DynamicInvoke.
