C# Dynamic Event Subscription

Question

How would you dynamically subscribe to a C# event so that given a Object instance and a String name containing the name of the event, you subscribe to that event and do some

Answer 1

It is possible to subscribe to an event using Reflection

var o = new SomeObjectWithEvent;
o.GetType().GetEvent("SomeEvent").AddEventHandler(...);

Now here is going to be the problem that you are going to have to solve. The delegates required for each event handler will have different signatures. You are going to have to find away to create these methods dynamically, which probably means Reflection.Emit, or you are going to have to limit your self to a certain delegate so that you can handle it with compiled code.

Hope this helps.
