Different ways to use Delegates
Comments (0) Here is the example covers all different ways to use the delegate – Just copy and paste the code:
- How to use Delegate
- How to use Multicast Delegate
- How to Call specific method from Multicast Delegate with executing in given Sequence
- How to call Delegate Asynchronously
- How to use Event
