Why can't I put a delegate in an interface?

Question

Why can\'t I add a delegate to my interface?

Answer 1

this is a delegate TYPE decalaration...

public delegate returntype MyDelegateType (params)

this cant be declared in an interface as it is a type declaration

however using the type declaration above you CAN use a delegate instance

MyDelegateType MyDelegateInstance ( get; set;)

so delegate instances are OK but delegate type declarations aren't (in an interface)
