delegate void del(int i);

1. On declaring the delegate a class called del will get created.
2. The signature of del need not be same as the signature of the method that we intend to call using it.
3. The del class will be derived from the MulticastDelegate class.
4. The method that can be called using del should not be a static method.
5. The del class will contain a one-argument constructor and an lnvoke() method.

1. Remoting
2. Serialization
3. File Input/Output
4. Multithreading
5. Event handling

class Sample
{
    public void MyFun(int i, Single j)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Welcome to CuriousTab !");
    }
}

delegate void del(int i);
Sample s = new Sample();
del d = new del(ref s.MyFun);
d(10, 1.1f);

delegate void del(int i, Single j);
del d;
Sample s = new Sample();
d = new del(ref s.MyFun);
d(10, 1.1f);

Sample s = new Sample();
delegate void d = new del(ref MyFun);
d(10, 1.1f);

delegate void del(int i, Single]);
Sample s = new Sample();
del = new delegate(ref MyFun);
del(10, 1.1f);

1. Inheritance is a prerequisite for using delegates.
2. Delegates are type-safe.
3. Delegates provide wrappers for function pointers.
4. The declaration of a delegate must match the signature of the method that we intend to call using it.
5. Functions called using delegates are always late-bound.

1. Static data
2. Instance data
3. Static function/subroutine
4. Instance function/subroutine

class Sample
{
    public int func(int i, Single j)
    {
        /* Add code here. */
    }
}

class Sample
{
    public int MyFun(int i)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Welcome to CuriousTab.com !" );
        return 0;
    }
}

delegate void del(int i);
Sample s = new Sample();
deld = new del(ref s.MyFun);
d(10);

delegate int del(int i);
Sample s = new Sample(.);
del = new delegate(ref MyFun);
del(10);

Sample s = new Sample();
delegate void del = new delegate(ref MyFun);
del(10);

delegate int del(int i);
del d;
Sample s = new Sample();
d = new del(ref s.MyFun);
d(10);

1. Delegates are not type-safe.
2. Delegate is a user-defined type.
3. Only one method can be bound with one delegate object.
4. Delegates can be used to implement callback notification.
5. Delegates permit execution of a method on a secondary thread in an asynchronous manner.
