Here's some C++ code snippets to demonstrate how delegates/events work in C#.  Note that C# borrows heavily for Java: there are no global functions, everything is in some class.

class DelegatesAndEvents

{

            // C#: public delegate void PrintString(string s);

            typedef DelegateT<Object::void1_T<string>::mf_t, string> PrintString_;

public:

            template <typename OBJECT>

                        static PrintString_ PrintString(OBJECT& o, void (OBJECT::*mf)(string)) {

                        return PrintString_(o, static_cast<Object::void1_T<string>::mf_t>(mf));

            }

            // C#: public event PrintString MyPrintString;

            PrintString_::Event MyPrintString;         

            void FirePrintString(string s) {

                        MyPrintString(s);

            }

};

class MyDelegates : public ObjectT<MyDelegates>

{

private:

            string m_name;

public:

            void SimpleDelegateFunction(string s)

            {

                        printf("SimpleDelegateFunction called from %s, string=%s\n", m_name, s);

            }

};

void main()

{

DelegatesAndEvents dae;

            MyDelegates d;

            dae.MyPrintString += DelegatesAndEvents::PrintString(d, &MyDelegates::SimpleDelegateFunction);

            dae.FirePrintString("Event fired!");

}
