Question

c#

Ajay Yadav · Answer

Sometime a function is used with delegate. It never called directly as a stand-alone method. Anonymous methods are nameless method. They prevents creating a separate methods unnecessarily which more cleaner and convenient approach. Define an anonymous method with the delegate keyword and a nameless function body. This code assigns an anonymous method to delegate. The anonymous method must not have a signature. The signature and return type is inferred from the delegate type. For example if the delegate has three parameters and return a double type then the anonymous method would also have the same signature

Anonymous types provide a convenient way to encapsulate a set of read-only properties into a single object without having to explicitly define a type first. The type name is generated by the compiler and is not available at the source code level. The type of each property is inferred by the compiler. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/ff2f08/anonymous-types-in-C-Sharp/
