Question

I saw many document on this topic, still I am unable to get a clear picture. please help me. Where we should use delegate rather than event vice versa.

Answer 1

Delegates and Events Both are related.
Delegates is a function pointer which can able to store the address of any function with the same prototype.
An event is a function handler which can handle or run the functions in the same prototype of its delegate.
For handling events delegate is used.
