Method Group Conversions (delegates)
C# 2.0 includes a feature called method group conversion that
simplifies the syntax used to assign a method to a delegate. Method
group conversion allows you to assign the name of a method to a
delegate, without the use new or explicitly invoking
the delegate's constructor.
The Old Way
public class MethodGroupConversion
{
public delegate string ChangeString(string str);
public ChangeString StringOperation;
public MethodGroupConversion()
{
StringOperation = new ChangeString(AddSpaces);
}
public string Go(string str)
{
return StringOperation(str);
}
protected string AddSpaces(string str)
{
return str + " ";
}
}
The New Way
We replace the constructor with a more straightforward assignment:
public MethodGroupConversion()
{
StringOperation = AddSpaces;
}
