C# delegates are similar to pointers to functions, in C or C++. A delegate is a reference type variable that holds the reference to a method. The reference can be changed at runtime.

Delegates are especially used for implementing events and the call-back methods. All delegates are implicitly derived from the System.Delegate class.

using System;
delegate int ReplaceNumber(int n);
namespace DelegateApp
{
   class UseDelegate
   {
      static int number = 10;
      public static int AddNumber(int p)
      {
         number += p;
         return number;
      }
      public static int MultNumber(int q)
      {
         number *= q;
         return number;
      }
      public static int getNumber()
      {
         return number;
      }
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         //create delegate instances
         ReplaceNumber numberc1 = new ReplaceNumber(AddNumber);
         ReplaceNumber numberc2 = new ReplaceNumber(MultNumber);
         
         //calling the methods using the delegate objects
         numberc1(25);
         Console.WriteLine("First Value of Number: {0}", getNumber());
         numberc2(5);
         Console.WriteLine("Second Value of Number: {0}", getNumber());
         Console.ReadKey();
      }
   }
}
