Updated: June 2010

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.

• method
  Type: System.String
  The name of the method for which a delegate is created.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
MemberAccessException	Cannot create an instance of an abstract class, or this member was invoked with a late-binding mechanism.

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.
