Multicast Delegate in C#

Amit Singh7499 01-May-2011

Such type’s delegates which hold and invoke multiple methods are known as multicast delegates. But simple delegates invoke only one method. Multicast delegates must satisfy the following condition:

·    The return type of the delegate must void.

·    None of the parameters of the delegate type can be declared as output parameters, using out keywords.


For Example:


delegate void Multidelegate();
    class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            Multidelegate mshow1 = new Multidelegate(Class1.show1);
            Multidelegate mshow2 = new Multidelegate(Class1.show2);
            Multidelegate mshow3 = mshow1 - mshow2;
            Multidelegate mshow4 = mshow2 - mshow1;
            Multidelegate mshow5 = mshow3 - mshow2;
            Multidelegate mshow6= mshow5 - mshow4;
            mshow3();
            mshow4();
            mshow5();
            mshow6();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }   
    class Class1
    {
        static public void show1()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("India");
        }
        static public void show2()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("England");
        }
    }

Output:

India

England

India

India
