Delegate in C#

Question

Hi friends, I want to know that how can we use the multicast delegate in our c# programming with example? Thanks

Sure Pravin. Every delegate has a invocation list, which contains a list of all the methods that should be executed when the delegate is invoked. The += operator is C#'s syntax for adding a method to the invocation list (you can use -= to remove it). So that particular line adds the method SayGoodbye to del's invocation list. It can also be written more long-windedly like this: del += new Del(SayGoodbye);

hi Vulpes, can u plz explain me the foll statement: del += SayGoodbye;

Vulpes · Answer

Here's a simple example of a multicast delegate. Notice how, when you invoke the delegate 'del', it calls both the SayHello and SayGoodbye methods: using System; delegate void Del(); class Test { static void Main() { Del del = SayHello; del += SayGoodbye; del(); Console.ReadKey(); } static void SayHello() { Console.WriteLine("Hello"); } static void SayGoodbye() { Console.WriteLine("Goodbye"); } }
