How do I create a Delegate/MulticastDelegate?
C# requires only a single parameter for delegates: the method address. Unlike other languages, where the programmer must specify an object reference and the method to invoke, C# can infer both pieces of information by just specifying the method's name. For example, let's use System.Threading.ThreadStart: Foo MyFoo = new Foo();ThreadStart del = new ThreadStart(MyFoo.Baz);This means that delegates can...

This article is good.
Introduction
In this article I am going to share my knowledge on Delegates in C#.This would explain the Delegate using simple examples so that the beginner can understand the same.What is Delegate?
Definition:
Delegate is type which holds the method(s) reference in an object.
it is also reffered as a type safe function pointers.
Advantages:
.Encapsulating the method's call from caller
.Effective use of Delegat improves the performance of application.
.used to call a method asynchronously.
Declaration:
public delegate type_of_delegate delegate_name()
Example : public delegate int mydelegate(int delvar1,int delvar2)
Note:
.you can use delegeate without parameter or with parameter list
.you should follow the same syntax as in the method
(if you are reffering the method with two int parameters and int return type the delegate which you are declaring should be the same format.This is how it
is reffered as type safe function pointer)
Sample Program using Delegate :
public delegate double Delegate_Prod(int a,int b);
class Class1
{
static double fn_Prodvalues(int val1,int val2)
{
return val1*val2;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Creating the Delegate Instance
Delegate_Prod delObj = new Delegate_Prod(fn_Prodvalues);
Console.Write("Please Enter Values");
int v1 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int v2 = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
//use a delegate for processing
double res = delObj(v1,v2);
Console.WriteLine ("Result :"+res);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Explanation:
Here I have used a small program which demonstrates the use of delegate.
The delegate "Delegate_Prod" is declared with double return type and which accepts only two integer parameters.
Inside the Class the method named fn_Prodvalues is defined with double return type and two integer parameters.(The delegate and method is having the same signature and parameters type)
Inside the Main method the delegate instance is created and the function name is passed to the
delegate instance as following.
Delegate_Prod delObj = new Delegate_Prod(fn_Prodvalues);
After this we are accepting the two values from the user and passing those values to the delegate as we do using method .
delObj(v1,v2);
Here delegate object encapsulates the method functionalities and return the result as we specified
in the method.Multicast Delegate
What is Multicast Delegate? :
It is a Delegate which holds the reference of more than one methods.
Multicast delegates must contain only methods that return void, else there is a run-time exception.
Simple Program using Multicast Delegate
----------------------------------------
delegate void Delegate_Multicast(int x, int y);
Class Class2
{
static void Method1(int x, int y) {
Console.WriteLine("You r in Method 1");
}
static void Method2(int x, int y) {
Console.WriteLine("You r in Method 2");
}
public static void Main()
{
Delegate_Multicast func = new Delegate_Multicast(Method1);
func += new Delegate_Multicast(Method2);
func(1,2); // Method1 and Method2 are called
func -= new Delegate_Multicast(Method1);
func(2,3); // Only Method2 is called
}
}
Explanation:
In the above example you can see that two methods are defined named method1 and method2 which takes two integer parameters and return type as void.
In the main method the Delegate object is created using the following statement
Delegate_Multicast func = new Delegate_Multicast(Method1);
Then the Delegate is added using the += operator and removed using -= operator.

I have some doubt.
Raghus Says: Delegate is type which holds the method(s) reference in an object.
My question is if Delegate is type then how we create a object of delegate? Because, we know that we can create object only struct and class. -
What is the difference between an interface and abstract class?
In the interface all methods must be abstract; in the abstract class some methods can be concrete. In the interface no accessibility modifiers are allowed, which is ok in abstract classes.

Reflection is an API that allows programmatically getting access to .Net assembly and module metadata. An assembly is a group of .Net modules, resources and manifest. As a rule assembly is located in one file and has one .Net module.

Why inheritance is not supported by structures??

Structures are inherited from System.ValueType abstract class on IL level and code Console.WriteLine(base.ToString()) inside structure will return name of structure type.

In a typical multiple-tier implementation, the steps for creating and refreshing a DataSet, and in turn, updating the original data are to: 1. Build and fill each DataTable in a DataSet with data from a data source using a DataAdapter. 2. Change the data in individual DataTable objects by adding, updating, or deleting DataRow objects. 3. Invoke the GetChanges method to create a second DataSet that features only the changes to the data. 4. Call the Update method of the DataAdapter, passing the second DataSet as an argument. 5. Invoke the Merge method to merge the changes from the second DataSet into the first. 6. Invoke the AcceptChanges on the DataSet. Alternatively, invoke RejectChanges to cancel the changes.
