what are delegates in c#.???

Answer 1

A delegate is a type that represents references to methods with a particular parameter list and return type. When you instantiate a delegate, you can associate its instance with any method with a compatible signature and return type. You can invoke (or call) the method through the delegate instance.

Answer 3

thankuu so muchh

Answer 4

Delegate area a variable type. So if you work with 2 classes is similair to methods and properties.
If they need to be shared, you can make them public or private.

Since they are a type, they are not bound to a instance but you can reference them via the class-reference.

Answer 5

sneeze How would it work with 2 classes?
I mean, consider you need access to the method of "class A" from "class B", without a reference between those classes?
Anyway, a good example!

Answer 6

sneeze Thanks for the explanation!
I still got a question tho..
What is the benefit of using delegates in your second example, when I already have a reference to "class B"? I mean I could directly call those specific methods of " class B" instead of letting the delegate of "class A" point to them.
Thanks
