Callbacks in C#

Question

I want to have a library that will have a function in it that accepts an object for it\'s parameter.

With this object I want to be able to call a specified function

You can use System.Action available in C#.NET for callback functions. Please check this sample example:

    //Say you are calling some FUNC1 that has the tight while loop and you need to 
    //get updates on what percentage the updates have been done.
    private void ExecuteUpdates()
    {
        Func1(Info => { lblUpdInfo.Text = Info; });
    }

    //Now Func1 would keep calling back the Action specified in the argument
    //This System.Action can be returned for any type by passing the Type as the template.
    //This example is returning string.
    private void Func1(System.Action UpdateInfo)
    {
        int nCount = 0;
        while (nCount < 100)
        {
            nCount++;
            if (UpdateInfo != null) UpdateInfo("Counter: " + nCount.ToString());
            //System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
    }
