What is a Delegate? Delegate is a type which holds the method(s) reference in an object. It is also referred to as a type safe function pointer. Advantages:- Encapsulating the method's call from caller Effective use of delegate improves the performance of application Used to call a method asynchronously

What is Event in C#? An event in C# is a way for a class to provide notifications to clients of that class when some interesting thing happens to an object. The most familiar use for events is in graphical user interfaces; typically, the classes that represent controls in the interface have events that are notified when the user does something to the control (for example, click a button) n event is a hook on an object where the object can say "Hey, something interesting is about to happen" (or just happened), and code on the outside of the object can say (before that something happens) that "I'm interested in that message". Take buttons for instance, this code: btOK.Click += new EventHandler(btOK_Click); This says to the button: Hey, when you want to fire the Click event (which is fired when the user clicks on the button), let me know by calling my method, btOK_Click.

Can someone just explain on this thread instead. I have seen many examples and I am still not able to explain. I want to start the conversation here.
