you can start considering a delegate as a reference to a method.


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have been a coder for some years now, although I am not afraid to ask advice when needed.<br />
I get the general idea of delegates, although I just need a really simple way to show delegates in Csharp and why use them - meaning to compare with any other method that might exist.<br />
<br />
No looking for complex examples here.. just plain, simple, explain to a 2 year old!!<br />
<br />
Thank you for your assistance!

Dummies explanation of delegates and why use them

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

.NET application servers, a Windows Server role in an application role, includes Internet Information Services (IIS) to provide web server support, the .NET Framework to provide application support, ASP.NET to provide server side scripting, COM+ for application component communication, Message Queuing for multithreaded processing, and the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for application communication. There are also third party server systems that provide .NET support, including Mono, Base4, TNAPS and cc Devnet Data Access Server.
