There is one important difference is there where we can use lamda than delegate.
private delegate int emptymethoddel();
// Delegate for method with no params and returns int
The equivalent framework delegate type is: Func
But you cannot create new delegate instance/func from parameterized method.
private int TwoArgMethod(int i, int j)
{
return i + j;
}
but, with lambda, you can get delegate for the above method.
Func retmethod = () => TwoArgMethod(10, 20);
but for delegate instantiation, we cannot do as below
emptymethoddel retmethod4 = new emptymethoddel(TwoArgMethod(10,20));
// mismatch method signature
With lambda, we can get pointers to methods that doesn't match "Func" or any other variants.
