Func<> with unknown number of parameters
You can use Delegate
with DynamicInvoke
.
With that, you don't need to handle with object[]
in f
.
TResult Foo<TResult>(Delegate f, params object[] args)
{
var result = f.DynamicInvoke(args);
return (TResult)Convert.ChangeType(result, typeof(TResult));
}
Usage:
Func<string, int, bool, bool> f = (name, age, active) =>
{
if (name == "Jon" && age == 40 && active)
{
return true;
}
return false;
};
Foo<bool>(f,"Jon", 40, true);
I created a fiddle showing some examples: https://dotnetfiddle.net/LdmOqo
Note:
If you want to use a method group
, you need to use an explict casting to Func
:
public static bool Method(string name, int age)
{
...
}
var method = (Func<string, int, bool>)Method;
Foo<bool>(method, "Jon", 40);

You could try something similar to what I posted here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47556051/4681344
It will allow for any number of arguments, and enforces their types.
public delegate T ParamsAction<T>(params object[] args);
TResult Foo<TResult>(ParamsAction<TResult> f)
{
TResult result = f();
return result;
}
to call it, simply......
Foo(args => MethodToCallback("Bar", 123));
This could become easy with lambda expressions:
TResult Foo<TResult>(Func<TResult> f)
{
return f();
}
Then usage could be like:
var result = Foo<int>(() => method(arg1, arg2, arg3));
Where method
can be arbitrary method returning int
.
This way you can pass any number of any erguments directly through lambda.
To support asynchoronous code we can define:
Task<TResult> Foo<TResult>(Func<Task<TResult>> f)
{
return f();
}
// or with cancellation token
Task<TResult> Foo<TResult>(Func<CancellationToken, Task<TResult>> f, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
return f(cancellationToken);
}
and use it like:
var asyncResult = await Foo(async () => await asyncMethod(arg1, arg2, arg3));
// With cancellation token
var asyncResult = await Foo(
async (ct) => await asyncMethod(arg1, arg2, arg3, ct),
cancellationToken);
That's not possible. At best, you could have a delegate that also takes a variable number of arguments, and then have the delegate parse the arguments
TResult Foo<TResult>(Func<object[], TResult> f, params object[] args)
{
TResult result = f(args);
return result;
}
Foo<int>(args =>
{
var name = args[0] as string;
var age = (int) args[1];
//...
return age;
}, arg1, arg2, arg3);
