Why aren't you using the instance of the enumerated type instead of the
underlying system type?

Subject: [DOTNET] invoke method with enum argument using underlying type?

> int anArg = 85;
> object[] oa = new object[1];
> oa[0] = anArg;
> object oRet = mi.Invoke(instance, anArg);
>
> When I run this, Invoke throws an exception saying that it can't convert
> the argument into the target type.

> I'm kind of confused, given that the underlying system type, in this case,
> is of type System.Int32. Can you just not use Invoke this way?
