There is not much point in instantiating a delegate for a method and then immediately calling that method via the delegate, as it would be simpler to call the method directly. Delegates really show their usefulness when their anonymity is used. The example
void MultiCall(SimpleDelegate d, int count) {
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
d();
}
}
shows a MultiCall method that repeatedly calls a SimpleDelegate. The MultiCall method doesn't know or care about the type of the target method for the SimpleDelegate, what accessibility that method has, or whether or not that method is static. All that matters is that the target method is compatible (§22.1) with SimpleDelegate.
