delegates

I am trying to learn some c# coding and wondering if the c++ concept of function pointers is included in c#. I see there are such things as delegates. Are they the same concept? or do they differ on a more fundamental level?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.

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