Answer is No for both questions, New keyword used to create anonymous type, delegate keyword is use to create anonymous method. Refer below thread for more information. http://www.dotnetfunda.com/forums/show/15974/what-is-difference-between-anonymous-methods-and-anonymous-types-in-cs

Hi Kiran, No you can't create an anonymous method without using delegate keyword and new keyword. Example // C# program to illustrate how to // create an anonymous function using System; class GFG { public delegate void petanim( string pet); // Main method static public void Main() { // An anonymous method with one parameter petanim p = delegate ( string mypet) { Console.WriteLine( "My favorite pet is: {0}" , mypet); }; p( "Dog" ); } }

Anonymous type, as the name suggests, is a type that doesn't have any name. C# allows you to create an object with the new keyword without defining its class. The implicitly typed variable- var is used to hold the reference of anonymous types. Example: Anonymous Type var myAnonymousType = new { firstProperty = "First", secondProperty = 2, thirdProperty = true };
