Cast delegate to Func in C#

Question

I have code:

public delegate int SomeDelegate(int p);

public static int Inc(int p) {
    return p + 1;
}

I can cast Inc to

Answer 1

The problem is that:

SomeDelegate a = Inc;

Isn't actually a cast. It's the short-form of:

SomeDelegate a = new SomeDelegate(Inc);

Therefore there's no cast. A simple solution to your problem can be this (in C# 3.0)

Func f = i=>a(i);
