Inline Anonymous Functions
Example of using Anonymous Functions. Pulled from Microsoft MSDN: Anonymous Functions (C# Programming Guide)
class Test { delegate void TestDelegate(string s); static void M(string s) { Console.WriteLine(s); } static void Main(string[] args) { // Original delegate syntax required // initialization with a named method. TestDelegate testDelA = new TestDelegate(M); // C# 2.0: A delegate can be initialized with // inline code, called an "anonymous method." This // method takes a string as an input parameter. TestDelegate testDelB = delegate(string s) { Console.WriteLine(s); }; // C# 3.0. A delegate can be initialized with // a lambda expression. The lambda also takes a string // as an input parameter (x). The type of x is inferred by the compiler. TestDelegate testDelC = (x) => { Console.WriteLine(x); }; // Invoke the delegates. testDelA("Hello. My name is M and I write lines."); testDelB("That's nothing. I'm anonymous and "); testDelC("I'm a famous author."); // Keep console window open in debug mode. Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit."); Console.ReadKey(); } } /* Output: Hello. My name is M and I write lines. That's nothing. I'm anonymous and I'm a famous author. Press any key to exit. */
