I am enjoying making generalized methods to serve common needs, such as:
ImageProcessing .MakeQuickResiz e();
ImageProcessing .Sharpen();
FileOps.CreateY earAndMonthAndD ayDirectoryBase dOnDate()
Sender.EmailCom maDelimitedList ()
What would be really cool is if I could make a generalized function that
would accept other methods as parameters, and would perform the methods on
another parameterized item that's fed to the function. So we might have the
equivalent of the following
public void ExecuteParamete rizedMethodsOnE veryFileInADire ctory( string
targetPath, MakeQuickResize (100,100), Sharpen(), ConvertToGray() ,
RegisterInDb(), RenameByDBRefer ence() ) ...
Is what I'm speculating about possible? Is this something that maybe
delegates are good for? (Have never used them...) If it is, can someone
suggest the right syntax? What I posit above is clearly wrong syntactically.
Finally, if it is possible to chain up methods in this way, I'm wondering if
there's any way to pass around return types to other members of the chain. A
hypothetical example would be:
Method 1 registers a filename in a database system, and a new filename is
derived from the DateTime stamp of creation
Method 2 uses that filename that was returned as a string to execute
something else.
Thanks for any insight you can offer.

Yes, you can use delegates to pass functions as parameters.
A basis for what you need could be something like this
public delegate int intproc1(string fn);
public delegate int intproc2(string fn1, string fn2);
int GetLength(strin g s)
{
return s.Length;
}
int GetTwiceLength( string s)
{
return s.Length * 2;
}
int GetDoubleLength (string s1, string s2)
{
return s1.Length + s2.Length;
}
public void Ex(string s, intproc2 p2, params intproc1[] procs)
{
Console.WriteLi ne ( p2 ( s, s ).ToString () );
foreach (intproc1 ip in procs)
{
Console.WriteLi ne ( ip(s).ToString () );
}
}
public void DoTest()
{
intproc1 p1 = GetLength;
intproc1 p2 = GetTwiceLength;
Ex("This string", GetDoubleLength , GetLength, GetTwiceLength, p2, p1);
Ex("Another string", GetDoubleLength );
}

Exactly what I needed to know, Ian. Thanks so much for your clear and
concise code, it all makes sense. This will be very helpful.
Just curious: does anyone know when delegates were first invented and
generally implemented as a language construct? I find the evolution of
programming languages very interesting: it's fascinating how abstract and
high-level languages like C# have become, and I'm interested in the history
of how we got here.

The first widely used language to pass functions as parameters was Lisp,
invented in 1958 by John McCarthy. There is a nice history on Wikipedia.

I would like to refer to properties in code without having to resort to
using a string for the name. AddessOf gives me this ability for methods, but
I can't find a single way to point that at the Get or Set methods of
properties directly.
Why don't I want to use a string? Well, I want to know at design time that
my property references aren't broken, much the same way I can have this when
using regular delegates.
Is this possible?
