Delagates in C#

Definition:

A delegate is a type safe “Function Pointer” which holds references to static or instance methods. Delegates are used to call methods dynamically at runtime (do not scratch your head; you will understand this by examples).

Trival Delegate Example:

public delegate void MyDelegate(string text);
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    MyDelegate d = new MyDelegate(MyMethod);
    //d += new MyDelegate(MyMethod1);
    d("hello");
}
private void MyMethod(string text)
{
    Response.Write(text);
}
