C# Delegates Real World Usage [duplicate]

Answer 1

Anonymous delegates make the code much more readable in some case (you don't have to go to another method to see code that belongs to your method:

Winforms example

class MyForm:Form{
//...
protected override void OnLoad(EventArg e){
   this.Cursor=Cursors.Wait();
   this.Enabled=false; 

   // do a long running DB operation without blocking the UI Thread
   ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(state=>{

     DoLongDBOperation();

     // re enable the form
     BeginInvoke(new Action(()=>{ this.Cursor=Cursors.Default;this.Enabled=true;}));

   });
}
