Introduction

Anonymous methods are nameless methods. They’re often used to instantiate delegates. The syntax for creating an anonymous method is as follows:

delegate(parameters)
{
	// Method body
}

Let’s see an example:

C#
using System;
namespace AnonymousMethods
{
    delegate void MessagePrinter();
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // This delegate will have the reference
            // of the anonymous method
            MessagePrinter printer = delegate()
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
            };
            printer();
        }
    }
}
