I'm learning about delegates in VB.NET, and they seem like they are a kind of way to simplify conditionals based on the state of a program at any given time. Is that about right?

Must admit I haven't used them yet. The closest thing I can compare them too were these ugly things called 'call-back' functions in (Access) VBA. Delegates are type safe though so if you find a use for them, much more suitable. Cheers, ------------- There have been many, many posts made throughout the world... This was one of them. |

Multi-threading in asp.net is a bit on the complicated side, and not really all that necessary. Many people use delegates for creating pseudo threads for stuff like emailing a bunch of newsletters. -------------
