Multicasting and delegates in C#

One interesting feature of delegates in C# is that it provide ways to attach / detach more than one methods that has method signature similar to the delegate declared and combine them together. This combining or attaching / detaching of methods to a delegate is called Multicasting. Behind the scenes: This multicasting is possible because delegates inherit from System.MulticastDelegate which in turn inherits from System.Delegate, which inherits from Object class. How to multicast: Multicasting can be done using += and / or -= operator. Here is an example that demonstrate use of += and -= to multicast delegates. private delegate void Greetings(); static void Main(string[] args) { SayHello(); Console.ReadLine(); } public static void SayHelloToScott() { Console.WriteLine("Hi Mr. Delegate, from Scott"); } public static void SayHelloToAlex() { Console.WriteLine("How about a coffee? from Alex"); } public static void SayHelloToJasmine() { Console.WriteLine("Hi delegates, from Jasmine"); } public static void SayHelloToJsinh( » Read more
