Introduction
Today, in this
article let's play around with one of the interesting and most useful concept in
C#.
Question: What
are lambda expressions?
In simple terms
"It is an anonymous function which accepts some input parameters and performs an
expected operation with lambda operator."
Step 1:
Create a new webform project
Step 2:
The
complete code of webform1.aspx looks like this
