Declaring Delegates:: Code Example

The document discusses delegate declaration in C# and how a delegate determines the methods that can be referenced based on the signature. It provides an example of a delegate that can reference methods with a string parameter returning an int. The code example demonstrates creating delegate instances to call methods that add or multiply a number.

Declaring Delegates:

Delegate declaration determines the methods that can be referenced by the


delegate. A delegate can refer to a method, which has the same signature as
that of the delegate.

For example, consider a delegate −


public delegate int MyDelegate (string s);

The preceding delegate can be used to reference any method that has a
single string parameter and returns an int type variable.

Syntax for delegate declaration is −


delegate <return type> <delegate-name> <parameter list>

Code Example:
using System;

delegate int NumberChanger(int n);

namespace DelegateAppl {

class TestDelegate {

static int num = 10;

public static int AddNum(int p) {

num += p;

return num;

public static int MultNum(int q) {

num *= q;

return num;

}
public static int getNum() {

return num;

static void Main(string[] args) {

//create delegate instances

NumberChanger nc1 = new NumberChanger(AddNum);

NumberChanger nc2 = new NumberChanger(MultNum);

//calling the methods using the delegate objects

nc1(25);

Console.WriteLine("Value of Num: {0}", getNum());

nc2(5);

Console.WriteLine("Value of Num: {0}", getNum());

Console.ReadKey();
