In everyday use of delegates, the following common methods are available:

Method Name	Description
Clone	Creates a shallow copy of the delegate.
GetInvocationList	Returns a list of calls for this multicast delegate in the order they will be invoked.
GetMethodImpl	Returns the static method represented by the current MulticastDelegate.
GetObjectData	Fills the SerializationInfo object with all the data needed to serialize this instance.
MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
RemoveImpl	Removes elements that are equal to the specified delegate from the invocation list.

Usage of GetInvocationList()

When a delegate has multiple return values

When you write a delegate or a Func<> generic delegate and bind multiple methods to the instance, each method will have a return value. This situation may arise:

  class Program
    {
        public static string a(string str)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Method a");
            return str+"Method a";
        }
        public static string b(string str)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Method b");
            return str + "Method b";
        }
        public static string c(string str)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Method c");
            return str + "Method c";
        }
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Func<string, string> func=a;
            func += b;
            func += c;
            Console.WriteLine(func("Test"));
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
}</span></pre>

After invoking the delegate, only the return value of the last called method can be retrieved.

Using GetInvocationList()

GetInvocationList() can return the method chain of this delegate.

By using a loop, each method can be invoked in order, and the return value of the currently invoked method will be generated in each iteration.

    class Program
    {
        public static string a(string str)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Method a");
            return str+"Method a";
        }
        public static string b(string str)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Method b");
            return str + "Method b";
        }
        public static string c(string str)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Method c");
            return str + "Method c";
        }
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Func<string, string> func=a;
            func += b;
            func += c;
            var funclist = func.GetInvocationList();
            foreach (Func<string, string> f in funclist)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(f("Test"));
            }
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
