Delegate Invocation Syntax

n C#, you typically invoke a delegate by using the variable referring to the delegate instance as if it were a method. For example, in the code below, the variable del1 is a delegate instance and you invoke it by using del1 as if it was a method.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

static void Method1(string text) {     Console.WriteLine(text); }   static void Main(string[] args) {     StringHandlerDelegate del1 = Method1;       // Invoke the delegate instance     del1("Invoked through delegate");       Console.ReadLine(); }

Alternatively, you can call the Invoke method on the delegate instance.  This does exactly the same thing as the example above.

1 2	// Invocation, method #2 del1.Invoke("Also invoked thru delegate");
