How do I express a void method call as the result of DynamicMetaObject.BindInvokeMember?

Question

I\'m trying to give a short example of IDynamicMetaObjectProvider for the second edition of C# in Depth, and I\'m running into issues.

I want to be able to express a voi

Perhaps the callsite expects null to be returned but discards the result - This enum looks interesting, particularly the "ResultDiscarded" flag...

[Flags, EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
public enum CSharpBinderFlags
{
    BinaryOperationLogical = 8,
    CheckedContext = 1,
    ConvertArrayIndex = 0x20,
    ConvertExplicit = 0x10,
    InvokeSimpleName = 2,
    InvokeSpecialName = 4,
    None = 0,
    ResultDiscarded = 0x100,
    ResultIndexed = 0x40,
    ValueFromCompoundAssignment = 0x80
}

Food for thought...

UPDATE:

More hints can be gleaned from Microsoft / CSharp / RuntimeBinder / DynamicMetaObjectProviderDebugView which is used (I presume) as a visualizer for debuggers. The method TryEvalMethodVarArgs examines the delegate and creates a binder with the result discarded flag (???)

 Type delegateType = Expression.GetDelegateType(list.ToArray());
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(name))
    {
        binder = new CSharpInvokeBinder(CSharpCallFlags.ResultDiscarded, AccessibilityContext, list2.ToArray());
    }
    else
    {
        binder = new CSharpInvokeMemberBinder(CSharpCallFlags.ResultDiscarded, name, AccessibilityContext, types, list2.ToArray());
    }
    CallSite site = CallSite.Create(delegateType, binder);

... I'm at the end of my Reflector-foo here, but the framing of this code seems a bit odd since the TryEvalMethodVarArgs method itself expects an object as a return type, and the final line returns the result of the dynamic invoke. I'm probably barking up the wrong [expression] tree.
