Delegate Information ?

Delegate Information ?

I was looking though EventSink.cs to see how defaultly events are handled. I didnt get much help using that script as a referance, but I finished a system I was working on without it. In any case, I was curious about one thing.
What is the Delegate declaration do?.
I have looked it over and it is defined like a class or struct but I dont see any real benefit to it. Looks like it does generally what function pointers do in other language(C++) Im not sure and my C# books do not explain its uses and syntax.

Am I correct to assume it allows you to store a referance to a method inside the "delegate object", then pass that object to code to call the method.?

Thanks, Jamie

What I mean is passing the function kind of as an argument ????
(though the function is contained inside the object)

Delegates are the C# equivalent of function pointers in C++.
