What is the common naming convention for a delegate? Or what\'s

Answer 1

I never thought about it, mostly because I just use one of the EventHandler, Func, or Action overloads and never bother defining my own. I would probably pick ValueExtractor from those you've listed. This makes it sound more like an object, and when you invoke it you'll be using that object to perform an action. For example:

ValueExtractor extractor += Blah;
var value = extractor(data);

Additionally, most of the built-in delegates are named like nouns as well. When in doubt, follow the .NET framework.
