I want expose WebClient.DownloadDataInternal method like below:

[ComVisible(true)]
public class MyWebClient : WebClient
{
    private MethodInfo _DownloadDataInternal;

    public MyWebClient()
    {
        _DownloadDataInternal = typeof(WebClient).GetMethod("DownloadDataInternal", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
    }

    public byte[] DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, out WebRequest request)
    {
        _DownloadDataInternal.Invoke(this, new object[] { address, out request });
    }

}

WebClient.DownloadDataInternal has a out parameter, I don't know how to invoke it. Help!

public class MyWebClient : WebClient
{
    delegate byte[] DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, out WebRequest request);

    DownloadDataInternal downloadDataInternal;

    public MyWebClient()
    {
        downloadDataInternal = (DownloadDataInternal)Delegate.CreateDelegate(
            typeof(DownloadDataInternal),
            this,
            typeof(WebClient).GetMethod(
                "DownloadDataInternal",
                BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance));
    }

    public byte[] DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, out WebRequest request)
    {
        return downloadDataInternal(address, out request);
    }
}
