Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | type is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). -or- target is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). -or- method is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
| ArgumentException | type does not inherit MulticastDelegate. -or- type is not a RuntimeType. -or- target is not a RuntimeType. -or- target is an open generic type. That is, its ContainsGenericParameters property is true. -or- method is not a static method (Shared method in Visual Basic). -or- method cannot be bound; for example, because it cannot be found, and throwOnBindFailure is true. |
| MissingMethodException | The Invoke method of type is not found. |
| MethodAccessException | The caller does not have access to method. -or- Application code attempts to access this member late-bound, for example, by using the Type..::.InvokeMember method. |
Remarks
This method creates delegates for static methods only. An instance method is a method that is associated with an instance of a class; a static method is a method that is associated with the class itself.
method must specify an accessible method.
Platform Notes
CreateDelegate throws MissingMethodException when attempting to create a delegate with incorrect arguments. Delegate..::.CreateDelegate throws TargetInvocationException when called on a null object. Delegate..::.CreateDelegate throws MissingMethodException instead of ArgumentException for non-instance methods.
