 ## Remarks  
- You can use this delegate to pass a method as a parameter without explicitly declaring a custom delegate. The encapsulated method must correspond to the method signature that is defined by this delegate. This means that the encapsulated method must have no parameters and no return value. (In C#, the method must return `void`. In Visual Basic, it must be defined by the `Sub`…`End Sub` construct. It can also be a method that returns a value that is ignored.) Typically, such a method is used to perform an operation.

  The following example simplifies this code by instantiating the <xref:System.Action> delegate instead of explicitly defining a new delegate and assigning a named method to it.
