Delegate : Keyword: Basics

• Syntax: public delegate void TestDelegate(String message);
• Used to declare a reference type that can be used to encapsulate named or an anonymous method
• Delegates are similar to function pointers but are type safe and thread secure
• Delegates are the basis for Events

• For use with anoymous methods, the delegate and the code to be associated with it are declared together
