Thanks for that, I had a feeling that was the problem. Is there anyway around this? I'd prefer not to have to assume the method name on the object.
This could be solved by passing the object and method name in as two separate parameters to the Bind function. But ideally I'd like to extract this information somehow from the bound method and give the external API a more natural feel. Is that possible?
