Hi
Can someone tell me what the advantage of a delegate is? Maybe an example
code would help
Thanks

Hi,
A delegate allow you to call a different method each time, or choose at
runtime what method to call, as long as a method has the same signature that
the delegate you can use it.
Cheers,

For event handlers, or whenever you want a function pointer, basically.
You could think of it as a "one method interface" if you want, but you
don't need to explicitly implement it, or you can pseudo-implement it
several times in the same class (just by giving several different
methods the same signature as the delegate). You can also build
delegate instances from static methods.

Hi all,
I've been trying to get my head around delegates. The book i'm using
had a single example, not much explaination, and didn't show how to set
up a delegate and pass variables in and out of the functions it refers
to. So I've been playing around and came up with he following code. I
know it doesn't do much, but I just wanted to fit together delegates
and parameter passing:

Please consider this sample code: It registers a delegate with an event.
p1.FirstNameChanged += new Person.NameChanged(p1_FirstNameChanged);
Now the following code removes the delegate:
p1.FirstNameChanged -= new Person.NameChanged(p1_FirstNameChanged);
The above line that removes the delegate confuses me. It works - buy why
must we use the 'new' keyword? The delegate already exists and is
"registered" with the event. I would think...

Hello,
Very simple question but one I need clarified.
Which part of the statement below is considered the 'delegate'?
Is it the 'new System.EventHandler'
or the
btnAccept_Click?
or is it the piece of code which doesn't appear here, but abstracts the
btnAccept_Click method?

I have several events that pass a value in their event args. One event
passes an int, another a string, another a DateTime, and so on. Rather than
creating a separate set of event args for each type, I have created a
generic event args class that looks like this:
public class ItemChangingEventArgs<T>

I'm having some problems comparing delegates. In all sample projects I
create, I can't get the problem to occur, but there is definitely a problem
with my production code.
I can't give all the code, as there's simply too much, but here's the
general gist:
I have a connection object which connects to a custom back-end server of one
type or another. Clients of this connection object send requests via a

Hi,
Can someone please explain to me something about delegates?
My understanding is as follows. A delegate is basically an object that
can hold a reference to a "method" somewhere. That is, it's
essentially a pointer to a piece of code somewhere else in memory.
It therefore (to me anyway) makes sense to define delegates with their
signatures and be able to use those signatures at different points in

Here is a good example that shows generic delegate types. Read this
through and you'll have an excellent understanding of how to use these
types. You might say that the combination of the generic delegate
type expression in just the right place and a well-named method means
we can almost read the code out loud and understand it without even
thinking.
Note that since 'boxing' and 'unboxing' is involved (I think), you
don't get what you...

Hi.
Is there way to have a function pointer to a delegate in c++/cli that
would allow me to pass delegates with the same signatures as
parameters to a method?
I'm working with managed code. Let's say we have 2 delegates:
public delegate void FirstDelegate( int i );
public delegate void SecondDelegate( int i );
