Delegate.CombineImpl Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Concatenates the invocation lists of the specified delegate and the current delegate.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Overridable Function CombineImpl ( _
    d As Delegate _
) As Delegate

protected virtual Delegate CombineImpl(
    Delegate d
)

Parameters

  • d
    Type: System.Delegate
    The delegate whose invocation list is to be combined with the invocation list of the current delegate.

Return Value

Type: System.Delegate
A new delegate with an invocation list that concatenates the invocation list of the current delegate and the invocation list of d, or the current delegate if d is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
MulticastNotSupportedException

In all cases.
MethodAccessException

Application code attempts to access this member late-bound, for example, by using the Type.InvokeMember method.

Remarks

The current implementation throws a MulticastNotSupportedException in all cases. This does not matter because all delegate types in the common language runtime (CLR) are derived from MulticastDelegate, and therefore they are combined by using the MulticastDelegate.CombineImpl method, which overrides this protected base class method. You cannot derive a delegate type directly from Delegate, so this protected method is never called.
