MethodInvoker vs Action for Control.BeginInvoke

Both are equally correct, but the documentation for Control.Invoke states that: The delegate can be an instance of EventHandler, in which case the sender parameter will contain this control, and the event parameter will contain EventArgs.Empty. The delegate can also be an instance of MethodInvoker, or any other delegate that takes a void parameter list. … Read more

Delegates vs Interfaces in C#

Yes, delegates are in many ways like single-method interfaces. However: There is support built into the CLR for them There’s support in the framework for them, including multi-cast abilities and asynchronous invocation There’s additional C#/VB language support in the form of method group conversions, lambda expressions, anonymous methods They’re mandated for events (i.e. events and … Read more

How to correctly unregister an event handler

The C# compiler’s default implementation of adding an event handler calls Delegate.Combine, while removing an event handler calls Delegate.Remove: Fire = (MyDelegate) Delegate.Remove(Fire, new MyDelegate(Program.OnFire)); The Framework’s implementation of Delegate.Remove doesn’t look at the MyDelegate object itself, but at the method the delegate refers to (Program.OnFire). Thus, it’s perfectly safe to create a new MyDelegate … Read more

What is a “delegate” in Objective C’s iPhone development? [duplicate]

A good example is UIAlertView. You create a UIAlertView object to show a short message box to users, possibly giving them a … Read more

Func delegate with ref variable

It cannot be done by Func but you can define a custom delegate for it: public delegate object MethodNameDelegate(ref float y); Usage example: public object MethodWithRefFloat(ref float y) { return null; } public void MethodCallThroughDelegate() { MethodNameDelegate myDelegate = MethodWithRefFloat; float y = 0; myDelegate(ref y); }

5 years later, is there something better than the “Fastest Possible C++ Delegates”?

Update: An article with the complete source code and a more detailed discussion has been posted on The Code Project. Well, the problem with pointers to methods is that they’re not all the same size. So instead of storing pointers to methods directly, we need to “standardize” them so that they are of a constant … Read more
