Question :

what is the main difference between delegate and an event in c#?  Posted by: shameera    Date: 9/25/2007   Contact Author

An example might help. I frequently code things so that a single method is called for all instances of a class. No matter which button is clicked, call my generic "button_click" method. That method will use the event arguments to determine which button was actually clicked. In order to assign all button click events to a single method, I have to code the delegates.  Posted by: NandaKumar       Contact Author Delegates and Events Both are related.
