Compiler Error CS1728

Cannot bind delegate to 'member' because it is a member of 'type'

You cannot bind delegates to members of Nullable value types.

Example

The following sample generates CS1728:

// CS1728.cs  
class Test  
{  
   delegate T GetT<T>();  
   delegate T GetT1<T>(T t);  
  
   delegate bool E(object o);  
   delegate int I();  
   delegate string S();  
  
   static void Main()  
   {  
      int? x = null;  
      int? y = 5;  
  
      GetT<int> d1 = x.GetValueOrDefault;   // CS1728  
      GetT<int> d2 = y.GetValueOrDefault;   // CS1728  
      GetT1<int> d3 = x.GetValueOrDefault;   // CS1728  
      GetT1<int> d4 = y.GetValueOrDefault;   // CS1728  
   }  
}
