Cannot convert from method group to System.EventHandler. Changing handler signature shows error when dealing with appdomain

Question

Hi,

I have the following two programs (1) Windows forms application (2) ClassLibrary1.dll

In the winform, the dll is loaded using appdomain. The winform subscribes to the action('TestAction') in the dll. I am trying to access the value returned by the dll action and use it in the event handler('HandleAction'). To do this I created a child class that inherits EventArgs. I changed the input arguments of the event handler(HandleAction) accordingly. But I am seeing a compiler error at Loader.Call( "RaiseAct", HandleAction, DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()); . The error is:Cannot convert from method group to System.EventHandler

Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

This is winform code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;
using ClassLibrary1;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
{
    [Serializable]
    public class IntEventArgs : EventArgs
    {
        public int data;
    }

    [Serializable]
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        void HandleEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("HandleEvent called");
        }
        void HandleAction(object sender, IntEventArgs e)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("HandleAction called");
            Debug.WriteLine("the value of index is " + e.data);
        }
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Loader.Call(  "RaiseEvent", HandleEvent, DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString());
            Loader.Call( "RaiseAct", HandleAction, DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()); // Cannot convert from method group to System.EventHandler
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Application.Restart();
            Application.Run(new Form1());
            this.Close();
        }
    }

    public class Loader : MarshalByRefObject
    {
        static string dll = @"..\ConsoleApplication1\ClassLibrary1\bin\Debug\ClassLibrary1.dll";
        static AppDomain ad = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Test");
        static Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFile(dll);
        static object o = a.CreateInstance("ClassLibrary1.Class1");
        static Type t = o.GetType();

        object CallInternal1( string method, EventHandler handler, object[] parameters)
        {
            // Subscribe to the event
            EventInfo eventInfo1 = t.GetEvent("TestEvent");
            eventInfo1.AddEventHandler(o, handler);

            MethodInfo m = t.GetMethod(method);
            return m.Invoke(o, parameters);
        }

        object CallInternal2( string method, EventHandler handler, object[] parameters)
        {
       
            // Subscribe to the event
            EventInfo eventInfo2 = t.GetEvent("TestAction");
            eventInfo2.AddEventHandler(o, new Action<int>((index) => handler(null, new IntEventArgs { data = index })));            
            MethodInfo m = t.GetMethod(method);
            return m.Invoke(o, parameters);
        }

        public static object Call( string method, EventHandler handler, params object[] parameters)
        {
            Loader ld = (Loader)ad.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName, typeof(Loader).FullName);
            object result = 0;
            switch (method)
            {
                case "RaiseEvent":
                    {
                        result = ld.CallInternal1( method, handler, parameters);
                        break;
                    }

                case "RaiseAct":
                    {
                        result = ld.CallInternal2( method, handler, parameters);
                        break;
                    }
            }
            return result;
        }
    }
}

This is ClassLibrary1.dll code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;


namespace ClassLibrary1
{
    [Serializable]
    public class Class1
    {
        public event EventHandler TestEvent;

        public int RaiseEvent(string msg)
        {
            try
            {
                TestEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("the exception is: " + ex.ToString());
                if (ex.InnerException != null)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("the inner exception is: " + ex.InnerException.Message.ToString());
                }
            }
            return 2;
        }



       public event Action<int> TestAction = Func;               
        public int RaiseAct(string msg)
        {
            TestAction(3);                                       
            return 5;
        }

        public static void Func(int a)                          
        {
            int g = 2;
        }

    }
}
