Hi

At present I use an InternalCalls for my callbacks and conditional compilation 
(see end) in our cross platform code
In this we assign  a Func<string, string> directly to an extern static string 
FilePathCallback(string EmployerName);

 In future I would like to support calling methods such as

public CloudClient(Func<string, string> filePathCallback) 

using the Embedded API and cut out the extra plumbing need for InternalCalls.

I have a wooly feel for how I should approach this!
When generating generic types I use a managed helper method.

So I could envisage creating a System.Delegate instance of System.Func<string, 
string>.
Then I could set the Target and Method properties - however since I am calling 
back into C there won’t be a Target class.
However System.Delegate is abstract so I would need to sort that out too! - 
presumably this needs to be done dynamically at runtime.

I am aware of the existence of Delegate.CreateDelegate() put that only seems to 
work for instance delegates.

Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks

Jonathan

public class CloudClient
{
#if TARGET_OSX
                [MethodImplAttribute(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
                extern static string FilePathCallback(string EmployerName);
#endif
                public CloudClient(Func<string, string> filePathCallback) {

                        _filePathCallback = filePathCallback;

#if TARGET_OSX
                        if (_filePathCallback == null) {
                                _filePathCallback = FilePathCallback;
                        }
#endif
                }

}
