Delegates

What’s the Deal with Lambda Expressions? If you’ve been coding in C# for a while, you’ve probably seen that funny arrow => sprinkled throughout code. That’s a lambda expression, basically a shortcut for writing tiny methods on the fly without all the ceremony of creating a named method. Think of lambdas as little function snippets that you can pass around like any other variable. They showed up in C# 3.0 and have been making our lives easier ever since. ...

Introduction to Delegates and Events If you’ve been coding in C# for a while, you’ve probably encountered delegates and events. These two features are incredibly powerful tools that help us write flexible, loosely coupled code. While they might seem similar at first glance (and yes, events are actually built on top of delegates), they each have their own purpose and best use cases. I remember when I first started learning C#, I found it challenging to understand exactly when to use delegates versus events. Over time, I’ve realized that choosing the right tool can make a huge difference in how maintainable and flexible your code becomes. ...
