very simple delegate musing

I’ve been wondering what’s the difference between this method of defining a delegate

System.Action act;
act = MethodWithoutParameters;

and this one

System.Action act;
act = new System.Action(MethodWithoutParameters);

. Should I prefer one over the other? If so, why?
I have unfortunately not been able to find much information regarding my question.
I’d really appreciate it if someone could tell me the differences between those two pieces of code.

Answer 1

It’s syntactic sugar: an “implicit method group conversion”. The compiler transforms the first version into the second.
