In C#, are lambda expressions objects? If so, what sort of object are they?
Lambda expressions themselves only exist in source code. They don’t have a type themselves, which is why the compiler always insists they’re convert to a specific type.
That’s why this code doesn’t compile:
But this does:
Lambda expressions are always converted to either a delegate type or an expression tree type. Similarly, anonymous methods are always converted to a delegate type.
