Updated: June 2010

Initializes a new instance of the MulticastDelegate class.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Sub New ( _
    target As Object, _
    method As String _
)

protected MulticastDelegate(
    Object target,
    string method
)

Parameters

  • target
    Type: System.Object
    The object on which method is defined.

    The name of the method for which a delegate is created.

Exceptions

Exception Condition

Remarks

This constructor cannot be used in application code. To create a delegate by specifying the name of an instance method, use an overload of the Delegate.CreateDelegate method that specifies a method name and a target object. For example, the Delegate.CreateDelegate(Type, Object, String) method overload creates a delegate for an instance method with a specified name.
