delegate and multithreading

A delegate can represent any method which has the same signature (i.e. type and number of arguments) and the same return type as the delegate does. So, if you have:

delegate int MyDelegate(int i);

class Test
{
public int Square(int i)
{
return i * i;
}
}

you can assign the method to the delegate and call it via the delegate like this:

Test t = new Test();
MyDelegate d = t.Square;
int result = d(9); // 81

Multi-threading simply means that there are multiple threads of execution running simultaneously within a particular process. If you only have a single processor, this is an illusion - the operating system allocates a 'time slice' to each thread in such a way as to make it appear to the user that the threads are running simultaneously when in fact they're sharing processor time.
