Question

What is generic delegate and how to use it.

Vulpes · Answer

A generic delegate is a delegate which takes one or more type parameters. An example is the Func delegate which represents a method which takes a parameter of type T and returns a value of type TResult. Here's a simple example of using this generic delegate: using System; class Test { static void Main() { Func func = CreateString; string str = func(new char[]{'a' 'b' 'c'}); Console.WriteLine(str); // abc Console.ReadKey(); } static string CreateString(char[] chars) { return new string(chars); } }
