刚开始,见了多次,但是从来没有理解,一大早过来就先google一下,先把这个问题搞清楚。
delegate 的字面意思
vt. 委派…为代表
n. 代表
msdn上的解释
A delegate declaration defines a reference type that can be used to encapsulate a method with a specific signature. A delegate instance encapsulates a static or an instance method. Delegates are roughly similar to function pointers in C++; however, delegates are type-safe and secure.
delegate声明一种引用类型,用来封装有特定签名的方法,可以是一个静态的方法或是实例的方法。类似于C++中的方法指针。
声明格式
[attributes] [modifiers] delegate result-type identifier ([formal-parameters]);
范例一
// keyword_delegate.cs
// delegate declaration
delegate void MyDelegate(int i);
class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
TakesADelegate(new MyDelegate(DelegateFunction));
}
public static void TakesADelegate(MyDelegate SomeFunction)
{
SomeFunction(21);
}
public static void DelegateFunction(int i)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Called by delegate with number: {0}.", i);
}
}
