Perhaps using an anonymous method bypasses the 'take no parameters'
restriction?

That depends on your definition of "bypasses". *Using the anoymous method *
doesn't remove the restriction; the anonymous method signature _does_ in *
fact wind up taking no parameters.

But with an anonymous method, you can "capture" any variable accessible in *
the method in which the anonymous method is declared. *So rather than *
passing the string to the delegate method, the "e" method argument winds *
up captured and used within the anonymous method directly.

In that respect, the anonymous method does bypass the restriction, by *
allowing you to get data into the anonymous method without passing it.
