What is delegates with example code in c# .net

Question

Jignesh Trivedi · Answer

Hi Delegates in the C# language are objects that reference a certain behavior.A delegate in C# is similar to a function pointer in C or C++. Using a delegate allows the programmer to encapsulate a reference to a method inside a delegate object. The delegate object can then be passed to code which can call the referenced method without having to know at compile time which method will be invoked. Unlike function pointers in C or C++ delegates are object-oriented type-safe and secure. Please refer http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11657/Understanding-Delegates-in-C http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/71154/C-Delegates-101-A-Practical-Example hope this will help you.

A delegate is an object which represents a method and the object (if any) on which that method is called. The signature of the delegate and the method must be consistent. Delegates are analogous to function pointers in unmanaged languages such as C++. It's possible for a single delegate to represent multiple methods using a process known as 'multi-casting'.
