How to convert to int?

I created a new delegate object and I want to pass it to a function which
takes int.

Why is the parameter type an int? Is this a call to a native DLL where
the int represents a function pointer?

You should not convert it to an int, an int is not platform independent,
declare your function to take a delegate, or, when using V2 of the framework
an IntPtr returned from the call to
Marshal.GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(myDelegate).

For what purpose you want do this?
If you mean passing delegates as callback to the unmanaged code, then

I have a COM object which takes a function pointer as int (or long).
