They are actually two very different things.
- Delegate is actually the name for a variable that holds a reference to a method or a lambda, and a lambda is a method without a permanent name.
- Lambdas are very much like other methods, except for a couple subtle differences:
- A normal method is defined in a “statement” and tied to a permanent name, whereas a lambda is defined “on the fly” in an “expression” and has no permanent name.
- Lambdas can be used with .NET expression trees, whereas methods cannot.
