Creating a delegate type inside a method

Question

I want to create a delegate type in C# inside a method for the purpose of creating Anonymous methods.

For example:

public void MyMethod(){
   delegat         


        

Answer 1

Why do you want to create the delegate type within the method? What's wrong with declaring it outside the method? Basically, you can't do this - you can't declare a type (any kind of type) within a method.

One alternative would be to declare all the Func/Action generic delegates which are present in .NET 3.5 - then you could just do:

public void MyMethod(){
    Func mySumImplementation = 
        delegate (int a, int b) { return a+b; };

    Console.WriteLine(mySumImplementation(1,1).ToString());
}

The declarations are on my C#/.NET Versions page.
