Hi,
I'd be grateful for some help...
I'm trying to create a late bound object using:
Activator.Creat eInstance(Type, ConstructorPara meters())
The constructor of the object takes a delegate as the only parameter.
However, ConstructorPara meters() is an object array and because a
Delegate is not derived from System.Object, it won't compile.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
Dim t As Type = Type.GetType("N amespace.ClassN ame,AssemblyNam e")
Dim p() as Object = {AddressOf DelegatedMethod }
Dim o As IObject = DirectCast(Acti vator.CreateIns tance(t, p), IObject)
Is there a work around to this?
TIA for any help.
Regards
John. 2 3368

This is not true. ALL classes in the framework derive directly or
indirectly from System.Object; therefore an object of any class can be
assigned to a variable of type Object. Here's an example of what I'm trying to achieve:
Dim t As Type = Type.GetType("N amespace.ClassN ame,AssemblyNam e") Dim p() as Object = {AddressOf DelegatedMethod }
This is your problem. Normally when using the AddressOf operator VB can
infer the type of delegate you are trying to create from the type of the
variable your are assigning the result to and create it automatically. In
this case your are assigning to an Object and VB has no idea what type of
delegate to create. You need to give it a helping hand in this case by
instantiating a specific Delegate type. For instance
Private Delegate Sub MyDelegate()
Dim p() as Object = {New MyDelegate(Addr essOf DelegatedMethod )}
Dim o As IObject = DirectCast(Acti vator.CreateIns tance(t, p), IObject)
Is there a work around to this?
TIA for any help.

Hope this helps,

Hi Nick,
That worked a treat. Thanks very much for your help.

Given that:
Type type = Type.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.Button");
Question: How do I obtain a Button object by only knowing
the type object. In other words, how do I fire the
constructor of a type object (Button(), in this case) ???
Thank you and God bless.

I’m trying to build a generic Publisher-Subscriber that will work over the

I wish that the subscriber user will be notify about the messages sent by

it his own function for that purpuse.
The trouble is that this delegate must not be static because there may be
many subscribers, and each subscriber may have different...

Hi,
Can anyone advise how to call a private constructor using reflection? I
currently get the above error which is rectified by changing the New() to
Public from Friend but I ideally wish to leave it as Friend to prevent it
being created outside of this project.
Thanks in advance

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
