How do delegates work

I have a little problem understanding what type i need to pass a delegate to AddEventHandler because i'm getting the function from reflection and MethodInfo.CreateDelegate tells me i need to pass a type which i don't understand what would that type be for or what derives from a delegate exactly

also the delegate must be async since it's a Discord.Net event

foreach (MethodInfo method in cConfig.EventsAssembly.GetTypes().SelectMany(t => t.GetMethods()).Where(m => m.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(EventAttribute), false).Length > 0).ToArray())
        {
            CustomAttributeData catData = method.GetCustomAttributesData().First(a => a.AttributeType.Name == "EventAttribute");
            GetType().GetEvent((string)catData.ConstructorArguments.First().Value!)!.AddEventHandler(this, method.CreateDelegate(typeof(void)));
        }

That typeof(void) in there i just put because at this point i tried everything lol, i don't know what type to put in there

i mean in this case it should be some type related to any method, so i don't actually know how to do this.

You need to declare a delegate that matches your methods' signature

what is the event you're trying to add to?

the event is whatever it gets from the string passed in the attribute constructor arg

well i'll give an example

this is what i don't understand basically

if you had

public event Func<int, Task> SomeEvent;

typeof(Func<int, Task>) is what you pass to CreateDelegate

i see, so that's the function return type then

its not its return type, thats how you define events

Func<T1, TRet> is a delegate type

it seems like you have an eventinfo there

which means you can get that type using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.reflection.eventinfo.eventhandlertype?view=net-6.0#system-reflection-eventinfo-eventhandlertype

so EventInfo.GetType?

no

EventInfo.EventHandlerType

you're getting the EventInfo from GetType().GetEvent(...)

ok, i'l try to pass (use) that

i'l split stuff in variables and pass (use) that, thanks

Cannot bind to the target method because its signature is not compatible with t
hat of the delegate type.

this means that the function the event expects is not compatible as far as i know?

ah it works, it just had to be static, my bad, thanks a lot
