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

Concatenates the invocation lists of two delegates.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function Combine ( _
    a As Delegate, _
    b As Delegate _
) As Delegate
public static Delegate Combine(
    Delegate a,
    Delegate b
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Delegate
A new delegate with an invocation list that concatenates the invocation lists of a and b in that order. Returns a if b is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), returns b if a is a null reference, and returns a null reference if both a and b are null references.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

Both a and b are not nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), and a and b are not instances of the same delegate type.

MethodAccessException

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

Remarks

The invocation list can contain duplicate entries; that is, entries that refer to the same method on the same object.

Combine is useful for creating event handlers that call multiple methods each time an event occurs.
