Question

I want to pass a method around and store it. Let’s say the method takes one int and returns void. I’d wrap it in Action< int >.

Now, is there a way to invoke that method but not on the object it originated from but a different instance of the same class?

It’s kind of hard to be more specific than that but please ask if anything is confusing and I’ll try again.

EDIT: Okay, ignore my first attempt. I thought you were talking about a different class.

It sounds like you should actually be wrapping the method in an Action<object, int> (or a more strongly typed version).

Alternatively, you could create a new delegate using:

Action<int> newAction = (Action<int>) Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(Action<int>),
                                          newTarget,
                                          oldAction.Method);
