When to use callbacks instead of events in c#?

Question

Forgive me if this a stupid question, I admit I haven\'t thought about it much.

But when would you favour using a callback (i.e, passing in a Func or Action), as oppo

Answer 1

In terms of OO design and class coupling there isn't great deal of difference between a callback interface and an event.

However, I prefer events where they are things the class needs to "shout about" to whoever is interested in listening (usually multiple things) and callbacks where a specific class has requested an async operation.

Whatever you use, use them consistently across the codebase!
