kode,
Check out the section of the .NET framework documentation titled
"Delegates Tutorial", located at (watch for line wrap): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...estutorial.asp
Hope this helps.

there's also a pretty good chapter in Jesse Liberty's C#
book, which just happens to be available FREE ONLINE http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progc...hapter/ch12.pd

cheers!
btw his discussion of why events have the accessors they
do is dumb, but that's another story.. -----Original Message-----

the problem with the event model is that it offers an add-
remove syntax which prevents retrieving any delegates
that have been assigned to the event. this means that
you can't retrieve event handlers in reflection, for
instance you can't copy event handlers from one object to
another.
according to liberty, this is to prevent objects with
access to the event (Main in liberty's example) from
impersonating the event (Main causing the printing of a
fictitious time on the console). this kind of issue is
silly, of coures main can do all kinds of wierd stuff if
it really wants, requiring that main not hijack events
should be a matter of style not language grammar.
btw does anybody know if there is a pre-c# history to the
event model that c# simply copied, or is the add/remove
event model novel with c#? -----Original Message-----

The concern is more about accidental problems as opposed to malicious
intent. If you could assign directly, you'd be able to write:
appDomain.Domai nLoadEvent = new EventHandler(ro utine);
If somebody was already hooked up to the event, you would have just unhooked
them. Which would be bad.

Which is good in many ways - if a class *wants* to expose which
handlers are being used, it can do so, but it doesn't *have* to.

No, because it helps to stop mistakes happening, just like strong
typing, access modifiers and the like. Would you suggest that
everything should be public as well? It's the same kind of argument.

Don't know, to be honest.

but it's making life easier for those of us who don't *want* to do

I’m just starting to learn delegates. I’m at the very beginning. If I understand correctly, delegates are for when you want to pass a function as a parameter.

Here is an example without delegates. class Class1 and...

One good way to understanding delegates is by thinking of delegates as something that gives a name to a method...

My question is regarding the use of delegates in C#. I see how .Net uses
delegates to wire event handlers to events. It’s an object created by a
single line of code by the system and that makes perfect sense to me. I
understand that there is a lot of code underneath that the system has created
that makes it all work, thereby making it pretty efficient for the programmer.
Outside of the use of delegates to wire event handlers, you can...

They usually don't teach you in most textbooks I've seen that
delegates can be used to call class methods from classes that are
'unaware' of the delegate, so long as the class has the same signature

Here is an example to show that feature. Note class "UnAwareClass"
has its methods Square and Cuber called by a class DelegateClass.
