AddEventHandler using reflection

Question

I have this piece of code that does not work:

public CartaoCidadao()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    object o = WebDAV.Classes.SCWatcher.LoadAssembly();

When you say it doesn't work... what happens? Nothing? An exception?

Thoughts:

• are both the event and the handler public? If not, you'll need to pass suitable BindingFlags to the GetEvent / GetMethod calls.
• does the signature of the handler match?

Here's a working example (note I'm using a static handler, hence the null in Delegate.CreateDelegate):

using System;
using System.Reflection;
class Test
{
    public event EventHandler SomeEvent;
    public void OnSomeEvent()
    {
        if (SomeEvent != null) SomeEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }
    static void Main()
    {
        Test obj = new Test();
        EventInfo evt = obj.GetType().GetEvent("SomeEvent");
        MethodInfo handler = typeof(Test)
            .GetMethod("MyHandler");
        Delegate del = Delegate.CreateDelegate(
            evt.EventHandlerType, null, handler);
        evt.AddEventHandler(obj, del);

        obj.OnSomeEvent();
    }

    public static void MyHandler(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("hi");
    }
}
