Chapter 14. C delegates

Chapter 14. C# delegates

Delegates will be something new to Java developers, and understanding them is important for understanding events. ^[1] And since events are an important part of any event-driven language, mastering delegates is a prerequisite if you want to be proficient in C#.

^[1] I have read C# books which do not make a distinction between delegates and events, and ( worse still) some which use delegates instead of events for event handling. Events can be viewed as one special type of delegate, but they are definitely not identical!
