hi friends this is akhilesh i am answering this question

delegates in c# are very similar to function pointers in c++ the only difference is that delegates are type safe due to these are CLR targated under .net framework, while function pointers in c++ are not type safe.

        A Delegate in c# allows to pass a method of class to object of other class.

Rules in Deligation:-

1.In order to create a Delegate a Signature(parameter) must match Signature of object.

2.Define all the methods which has the same Signature as Deligate define.

3.Create the deligate object & pass the  method as a parameter to Deligate.

4.Now call the encapsulated method using deligated object.

the best example of Deligation modle is ADO.NET Architecture & Event Handling in windows environament.

any confusion then ask me my mail id is  akhi_srivastava2000@yahoo.com

Good answer! but u cant spend your time in giving all that information. Simply say Delegate is a strongly typed function pointer and pointer holds reference to a variable or pointer is a variable which holds the address of another variable.

Delegate to function--- is same as---- pointer to object.Delegates are function pointers.They are used when the function which needs to be called is not know at compile time.Pointers, on the other hand, are used to point to variables or object references in unsafe code. Thanx
