I was working with the Action Delgates in C# in the hope of learning more about them and thinking where they might be useful.

Has anybody used the Action Delgate, and if so why? or could you give some examples where it might be useful?

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
