Calling delegate with multiple functions having return values in C#

Calling delegate with multiple functions having return values in C#

In C#, you can use a delegate to represent a method with a specific signature, and you can invoke a delegate to call the method it represents. If you have multiple functions that have the same signature and return values, you can use a multicast delegate to invoke all of them in sequence and collect their return values.

Here's an example of how to use a multicast delegate to call multiple functions with the same signature and return values:

public delegate int MyDelegate(int a, int b); public class MyClass { public int MyMethod1(int a, int b) { return a + b; } public int MyMethod2(int a, int b) { return a * b; } } public static void Main() { MyClass obj = new MyClass(); MyDelegate del = new MyDelegate(obj.MyMethod1); del += new MyDelegate(obj.MyMethod2); int result = del.Invoke(2, 3); Console.WriteLine(result); }

In this example, we define a delegate MyDelegate with a signature that takes two int parameters and returns an int. We also define a class MyClass with two methods MyMethod1 and MyMethod2 that have the same signature as the delegate.

In the Main method, we create an instance of MyClass and create a delegate del that refers to MyMethod1 and MyMethod2. We then invoke the delegate with the parameters 2 and 3, which will call both methods in sequence and return their results. The results are combined using the + and * operators because MyMethod1 adds the parameters and MyMethod2 multiplies them. Finally, we print the result to the console.

Note that when you use a multicast delegate to call multiple functions, the order in which the functions are called is determined by the order in which they are added to the delegate. If you need to ensure a specific order of execution, you should add the functions to the delegate in the correct order.
