SignatureEquals(MethodBase, MethodBase, bool)

Determines whether formal parameters of both methods are equal by type.

Declaration

public static bool SignatureEquals(this MethodBase method, MethodBase other, bool respectCallingConvention = false)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
MethodBase	method	The first method to compare.
MethodBase	other	The second method to compare.
bool	respectCallingConvention	true to check calling convention; false to ignore calling convention.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true, if both methods have the same number of formal parameters and parameters are equal by type; otherwise, false.

SignatureEquals(MethodBase, Type[])

Determines whether the method parameters have the same set of types as in given array of types.

Declaration

public static bool SignatureEquals(this MethodBase method, Type[] parameters)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
MethodBase	method	The method to check.
Type[]	parameters	The expected parameter types.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true, if the method parameters have the same set of types as types passed as array; otherwise, false.

SignatureEquals(MethodInfo, MethodInfo, bool)

Determines whether formal parameters of both methods are equal by type and return types are also equal.

Declaration

public static bool SignatureEquals(this MethodInfo method, MethodInfo other, bool respectCallingConvention = false)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
MethodInfo	method	The first method to compare.
MethodInfo	other	The second method to compare.
bool	respectCallingConvention	true to check calling convention; false to ignore calling convention.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true, if both methods have the same number of formal parameters, parameters are equal by type and return types are equal; otherwise, false.

TryInvoke(MethodBase, object?, params object?[])

Invokes the method or constructor represented by the current instance, using the specified arguments.

Declaration

public static Result<object?> TryInvoke(this MethodBase method, object? obj, params object?[] args)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
MethodBase	method	The method or constructor to invoke.
object	obj	The object on which to invoke the method or constructor. If a method is static, this argument is ignored. If a constructor is static, this argument must be null or an instance of the class that defines the constructor.
object[]	args	An argument list for the invoked method or constructor.

Returns

Type	Description
Result<object>	An object containing the return value of the invoked method, or null in the case of a constructor.

Remarks

This method never throws an exception. Examine IsSuccessful or Error instead.
