Question

I am trying to assign a delegate to a method that belongs to another class object.

TestingClass testObj = new TestingClass();
Delegate myDelegate = testObj.testMethod;   //syntax error

My intention is to point myDelegate to the method testMethod in testObj. The above code has syntax error.

What is the right syntax to do this in C#?

If you’re really intent on using delegates–which can be handy for creating a well-named type–define one of your own:

class Program
{
    delegate void D1();

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var testObj = new Program();
        D1 myDelegate = testObj.TestMethod;
        myDelegate.Invoke();
    }

    void TestMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Foo!");
    }
}
