Delegate does not contain a definition for CreateDelegate in .net core

Question

I'm trying to use delegates for reflection in dotNet core web application. Below is the sample of the code. ``` Action action = (Action) Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(Action), method) ``` Compiler gives the following error: ``` 'Delegate' does not contain a definition for 'CreateDelegate' ConsoleApp2..NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0' ``` Is there any work around for creating delegates in .net Core?

Accepted Answer

Use `MethodInfo.CreateDelegate` instead.

```
MethodInfo methodInfo = target.GetType().GetMethod(nameof(FooMethod));

Action action = (Action) methodInfo.CreateDelegate(typeof(Action), target);
```

`Delegate.CreateDelegate` is expected to return in .NET Core 2.0: .NET API Catalog
