new EventHandler(delegate {})

[Blip]

private void SerialPortLog(LogMsgType msgtype, string msg)
{

{
txtReadData.Invoke(new EventHandler(delegate
{
txtReadData.SelectedText = string.Empty;
txtReadData.SelectionFont = new
Font(txtReadData.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold);
txtReadData.SelectionColor =
LogMsgTypeColor[(int)msgtype];
txtReadData.AppendText(msg);
txtReadData.ScrollToCaret();
}));

}
In the context of this method, can someone explain to me how to parse
this:

txtReadData.Invoke(new EventHandler(delegate {}

Is this something new in 2008? part of an anonymous method?

By parse, I mean. explain what is happening here between the event
handler & the delegate. Declarations of both are left out.

Thanks, Tom

That is new in C# 2005, not in 2008. The delegate {} part defines an
anonymous method.
