Delegates
The syntax for a delegate in C#
closely follows the syntax for a method. The
delegate
statement is followed by the
delegate’s return type (or void
,
if there is none) and the delegate name. This in turn is followed by
the delegate’s parameter list, in which each
parameter takes the form:
<parameter_type
> <parameter_name
>
For example:
public delegate void DragEventHandler( object sender, DragEventArgs e);
In a VB Delegate
statement, the
Delegate
keyword is followed by the
Sub
keyword (if the delegate returns a
void
in C#) or the Function
keyword (if the delegate returns some other value). For example, in
VB, the DragEventHandler
delegate has the
following syntax:
Public Delegate Sub DragEventHandler( _ sender As Object, _ e As DragEventArgs)
