a delegate type represents references methods particular parameter list , return type. when instantiate delegate, can associate instance method compatible signature , return type. can invoke (or call) method through delegate instance. delegates used pass methods arguments other methods.

here simple example.

using system; using system.collections.generic; using system.linq; using system.text; using system.threading.tasks;  namespace @delegate {     class program     {         public delegate int calculate(int value1, int value2);         static void main(string[] args)         {             //creating class contains methods              //that assigned delegate objects             program p = new program();              //creating delegate objects , assigning appropriate methods             //having exact signature of delegate             calculate add = new calculate(p.add);             calculate sub = new calculate(p.sub);              //using delegate objects call assigned methods              console.writeline("adding 2 values: " + add(10, 6));             console.writeline("subtracting 2 values: " + sub(10, 4));             console.readkey();         }         //a method, assigned delegate objects         //having exact signature of delegate         public int add(int value1, int value2)         {             return value1 + value2;         }         //a method, assigned delegate objects         //having exact signature of delegate         public int sub(int value1, int value2)         {             return value1 - value2;         }     } }
