Blazor: Invalid argument type match exception when using dynamic for EventCallback<T>

Question

I have custom component, in which having multiple events and each one have unique T type. Then JSInvokable method is common one (Entry point), from where i need to invoke the exact event functional handler.

While doing so, i need to convert the argument and Function handler in appropriate type. but due to type casting issue, i used dynamic type.

But am getting below issue in run time eventhough passed a proper argument type.

please check the error thrown screenshot:

    [Parameter]
    public EventCallback<FocusOutEventArgs> FocusOut

    public async Task<string> DummyCall()
    {
        // dummy async action method to show case the issue
        return await Task.Run(() => { return "data"; });
    }

    [JSInvokable]
// this is entry point 
    public override object Trigger(string eventName, string arg)
    {

        EventData data = this.DelegateList[eventName];
        var eventarg = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(arg, data.ArgumentType);
        dynamic fn = data.Handler;
// here am getting the issue
        fn.InvokeAsync(eventarg);
        return eventarg;
    }    

}

base.cs

 public Dictionary<string, EventData> DelegateList = new Dictionary<string, EventData>();
 internal virtual void SetEvent<T>(string name, EventCallback<T> eventCallback)
        {
            if (this.DelegateList.ContainsKey(name))
            {
                this.DelegateList[name] = new EventData().Set<T>(eventCallback, typeof(T));
            }
            else
            {
                this.DelegateList.Add(name, new EventData().Set<T>(eventCallback, typeof(T)));
            }
        }

        internal  object GetEvent(string name)
        {
            if (this.DelegateList.ContainsKey(name) == false)
            {
                return null;
            }
            return this.DelegateList[name].Handler;
        }

EventData class

public class EventData
    {
        public object Handler { get; set; }

        public Type ArgumentType { get; set; }

        public EventData Set<T>(EventCallback<T> action, Type type)
        {
            this.Handler = action;
            this.ArgumentType = type;
            return this;
        }

    }

you can find the issue reproducing sample from here.

whether this is an issue with eventCallback conversion with dynamic type? any other work around for this?

Answer 1

change:

get { return (EventCallback<ChangeEventArgs>)this.GetEvent("change"); }

To:

get { return (EventCallback<ChangeEventArgs>)(object) this.GetEvent("change"); }

Perhaps now you don't need to use dynamic...

Good luck...
