The Anonymous method is the new feature in C# 3.0 which simplifies the delegates and the reference method will be written in the delegate initialization. You can see this example program. // Declare a delegate delegate void Printer(string s); class TestClass { static void Main() { // Instatiate the delegate type using an anonymous method: Printer p = delegate(string j) { System.Console.WriteLine(j); }; // Results from the anonymous delegate call: p(The delegate using the anonymous method is called.); // The delegate instantiation using a named method DoWork: p = new Printer(TestClass.DoWork); // Results from the old style delegate call: p(The delegate using the named method is called.); } // The method associated with the named delegate: static void DoWork(string k) { System.Console.WriteLine(k); } } You can see the more information on below urls: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0yw3tz5k(v=vs.80).aspx http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/Ashush/anonymous-methods-in-C-Sharp/ http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/47887/C-Delegates-Anonymous-Methods-and-Lambda-Expressio

To all intents and purposes anonymous methods have been superseded in C# 3.0 (and later) by lambda expressions which are more concise and flexible. However the former are still supported for compatibility with earlier code.
