Question

I was watching a Silverlight tutorial video, and I came across an unfamiliar expression
in the example code.

what is => ?
what is its name? could you please provide me a link?
I couldn’t search for it because they are special characters.

code:

        var ctx = new EventManagerDomainContext();
        ctx.Events.Add(newEvent);
        ctx.SubmitChanges((op) =>
        {
            if (!op.HasError)
            {
                NavigateToEditEvent(newEvent.EventID);
            }
        }, null);

Lambda operator:

A lambda expression is an anonymous function that you can use to create delegates or expression tree types. By using lambda expressions, you can write local functions that can be passed as arguments or returned as the value of function calls…

Huzzah!
