They aren't the same. An event is an event. A "delegate" assigns a particular event handler to an object instance. Thus, when an object event happens, the proper procedure/method is called.

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.

Delegates and Events Both are related.

Dalegete is a function pointer which can able to store the address of any function with same prototype.

Event is a function handler which can handles or run the functions in same prototype of its delegate.

For handling events delegate is uesd.

delelgate is rederence to a method. event is way to access that method using that delegate.
