I'm trying to invoke a method that returns a value (actually a Panel), but i
keep getting an error:
System.Reflecti on.TargetExcept ion was unhandled
Message="Object does not match target type."
Here's the code:
MethodInfo methodInfo = typeChannelPane l.GetMethod("Cr eateNavPanel");
Panel o_Panel = (Panel)methodIn fo.Invoke(metho dInfo, null);
I've tried creating it as an Object and i get the same error. The
CreateNavPanel returns a Panel, which i then need to add to the main form.
What am i missing here? 2 4557
The first parameter of methodInfo.Invo ke is the target object i.e. if you
were doing it in "normal" code
myPanel.CreateN avPanel();
then the equivalent in reflection would be
methodInfo.Invo ke(myPanel, null);
Does that make sense? The only exception is for static methods, where you
can pass null into the first argument.
Your code attempts to execute the method on the methodInfo object, hence the
error.

good, I can host it, but I can not reach the parent COM object from the
control (Parent property is null :( ).

I have a class the reads in a file and sets the values of the file into its
properties. This class is used to populate the data onto a form. This form
has controls created at runtime based on user input (file values when file
is opened). I was hoping to put the name of the property in the tag of each
control and fire an event if the a file is open when the control is created
and use the tag to get the correct property from the class. ...

Hi All,
I am trying to use the attribute/reflection system to as much
potential as I can think of, but I've run into a snag. I would
appreciate it if someone would point me in the right direction.
First my question: How am I supposed to make instances of delegates
when I have the method (that I want to make the delegate of) retrieved
through reflection?

I understand that reflection allows me to discover the metadata of a
class at runtime (properties, methods etc). What I don't understand is
where this is useful. For example:
If I am the sole author of an application, I already know the metadata
about my classes - I wrote them. And even if I did not - Let's say I
buy a 3rd party class lib, it will be documented for me with that lib.
If I am part of a dev team, the same is true - If...

is it faster to access the fields from an object directly by using

What good is C# Reflection, other than to find out what types are in
an assembly? And to dynamically invoke methods in an assembly (.dll
or .exe)?
Also, bonus question, can you use Reflection to build a compiler? One
that will construct a user defined class "on the fly" (literally, the
user defines a class, instantiates it, and runs it from the console
mode, all the while prompted by the program)?
I guess so, but my final question...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
