Can someone explain to me in simple english what are delegates in c# ? :)

Question

c# delegates explanation pls ?

Answer 1

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.
