Anonymous Functions in C#

An anonymous function is an inline statement or expression that can be used wherever a delegate type is expected.
An anonymous function has no name.

Types of anonymous functions:

• Lambda Expressions
• Anonymous Methods

Example:

delegate void TestAnonymousFunctionDelegate(string s);

// A delegate can be initialized with inline code - anonymous method

TestAnonymousFunctionDelegate del1 = delegate(string s) { MessageBox.Show(s); };
del1("This is anonymous method.");

// A delegate can be initialized with a lambda expression.

TestAnonymousFunctionDelegate del2 = (x) => { MessageBox.Show(x); };
del2("This is lambda expression.");
