Hey all, so I'm looking for a way to call a method in an application externally from a dll. (see example below) This is what I'm trying however it's a) not working and b) if it was working i have a feeling that calling DynamicInvoke is going to be painfully slow.
first all if I did want to do it this way how do I deal with returns types as currently this will errors saying callthisexternally() has wrong return type.
is there a better way to do this?
--- within a a dll ---
public class mydll
{
// etc.. blah blah
public object callfromdll(string commandName, int requiredArgs, Delegate method)
{
// do stuff
// now invoke the method
return method.DynamicInvoke(method.Method.GetParameters().Select(p => p.ParameterType).ToArray());
}
}
-- within an application that's refrancing the above dll --
public someclass
{
// etc.. stuff here
mydll m = new mydll();
m.callfromdll("callthisexternally", 0, new Action(callthisexternally));
// the function to be called externally
public string callthisexternally()
{
// do stuff
return "i was called!";
}
}
