In simple terms, A method is a group of statements that together perform a task. Every C# program has at least one class with a method named Main.
The following is a simple example showing how to create methods in C#.

Example

class CompareNum {

   public int FindMax(int num1, int num2) {

      /* local variable declaration */

      int result;

      if (num1 > num2) {

         result = num1;

      }else {

         result = num2;

      }

      return result;

   }

   ...

}

Methods and Functions are the same in C#. However, Methods are used in C# and are functions that operate through a designated class.

Hi Sourabh, Basically 'method' and 'function' are same. Method is the correct term for a function associated with a class .but developer change their convenient method and function as in c# works that where as we mention "void" that is a method . function is a without void and return something.
Method:
public void mypgm()
{
//code
}

Function:
public string mypgm()
{
//code
return string
}
