    Hi guys,

    I'm wondering if it is a good idea to use Delegate to notify that a variable value has just changed ? Would it be a good idea even if the variable could change very often like in the Update function of my game Model class ?

    Thank you

    That's what delegates were made for, just like events.

    Ok, then I will go for that solution ! I'm just starting C# so I wasn't sure what is the solution to dispatch an event, needed to ask ;-)

    Thank you

    Almost every event based on combined delegats ;)

    Infact events are nothing more than syntax sugar around delegates, scoped with add/remove properties similar to getters/setters.
