Question Are methods auto-converted to delegates when added directly to a delegate list

I want to put methods in a list. But since lists can only hold objects, I need to first assign the methods to delegates:

void MyMethod1(){
//code
}

Action myDelegate1 = MyMethod1;


Then I can add the delegate to the list:

List<Action> myDelegList = new List<Action>();
myDelegList.Add((myDelegate1));


However, I found you can just:

myDelegList.Add((MyMethod1));

i.e. adding the method directly to the delegate/action list

So has MyMethod1 been auto-converted to a delegate when added to myDelegList?

 

Yes. Didn't we just discussed that in your other question?

A method is not a datatype on its own, a delegate is a datatype that can be passed around.

 

Hey thanks a lot for your guy's help on the other thread. I found I have phrased my question really terrible so I started this new thread.

Just wanted to make sure if a delegate list is actually storing the converted delegate class object (like you explained) after being fed a method. Like the method has been magically converted behind the scene xD

You must have explained it though, just wanted to make sure.

but thanks again
