[NOTE: DELEGATES ENABLE SCENARIOS THATHER LANGUAGES? SUCH AS C , Pascal,
AND MODULA? HAVE Addressed with
Function Pointers. Unlike C Function Pointers, HoWever, Delegates Are
Fully Object Oriented, and Unlike
C Pointers to Member Functions, Delegates Encapsulate Both An Object
Instance and a method. End Note]
A delegate Declaration defines a class thing is deived from the class
System.deLegate. A Delegate Instance
Encapsulates One or More Methods, Each of Which is Referred To As A
Callable Entity. for Instance Methods, A
Callable Entity Consists of An Instance and a Method On That Instance. for
Static Methods, A Callable Entity Consists
Of Just A Method. Given a Delegate Instance and An Appriate Set of
Arguments, One Can Invoke All of That
DELEGATE INSTANCE? S Methods with That Set of Arguments.
[NOTE: An Interesting and Useful Property of a Delegate Instance Is That IT
Does not know or care about the classes
All That Matters Is That Those Methods Be
Compatible (§22.1) with the delegate? s
Type. this makes delegates perfectly suited for? Anonymous? Invocation. End
