C#: what's the difference between SomeEvent += Method and SomeEvent += new Delegate(Method) [duplicate]

Answer 1

They are the same. The second variant is just a shorthand for the first called Method group conversion.

Simply put, the compiler infers what the type of the delegate is by using the delegate type of the event itself. This was introduced in C#2.0 if I'm not mistaken.

Answer 2

they do the same thing. The variation

SomeEvent += new SomeDelegate(SomeMethod)

was the only way to write it in C# 1.0, 1.1 . Since 2.0 you can write the other alternative as a simplification.

Answer 3

Both are same.

SomeEvent += new SomeDelegate(SomeMethod)

mentions what happens under the hood i.e SomeDelegate constructor is called to create a instance of the object.
