The Delegate type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | Combine(Delegate) | Concatenates the invocation lists of an array of delegates. |
| Combine(Delegate, Delegate) | Concatenates the invocation lists of two delegates. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, MethodInfo) | Creates a delegate of the specified type to represent the specified static method. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Object, MethodInfo) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified static or instance method, with the specified first argument. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Object, String) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified instance method to invoke on the specified class instance. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, MethodInfo, Boolean) | Creates a delegate of the specified type to represent the specified static method, with the specified behavior on failure to bind. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Type, String) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified static method of the specified class. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Object, MethodInfo, Boolean) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified static or instance method, with the specified first argument and the specified behavior on failure to bind. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Object, String, Boolean) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified instance method to invoke on the specified class instance with the specified case-sensitivity. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Type, String, Boolean) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified static method of the specified class, with the specified case-sensitivity. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Object, String, Boolean, Boolean) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified instance method to invoke on the specified class instance, with the specified case-sensitivity and the specified behavior on failure to bind. |
| CreateDelegate(Type, Type, String, Boolean, Boolean) | Creates a delegate of the specified type that represents the specified static method of the specified class, with the specified case-sensitivity and the specified behavior on failure to bind. |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object and the current delegate are of the same type and share the same targets, methods, and invocation list. (Overrides ObjectEquals(Object).) |
| GetHashCode | Returns a hash code for the delegate. (Overrides ObjectGetHashCode.) |
| GetInvocationList | Returns the invocation list of the delegate. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Remove | Removes the last occurrence of the invocation list of a delegate from the invocation list of another delegate. |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Operators| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Equality | Determines whether the specified delegates are equal. |
| Inequality | Determines whether the specified delegates are not equal. |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Method | Gets the method represented by the delegate. |
| Target | Gets the class instance on which the current delegate invokes the instance method. |
