    hello,i have question as follows. for example, I want to call fun1, then introduce vary x, and function as vary(fun2 or fun3), fun2 and fun3 have different varies. In fun1, can call fun2 or fun3 according to reference. I think delegate can solve it ,but fun2 and fun3 have different number input, how to do it? delegate void call() //? main() { int x,y,z; fun1(x,call) } fun1() { fun2(y) or fun3(y,z)? } fun2(int y); fun3(int y,int z);

    Are you looking for something like this:

    static void Main()
    {
    int x = 1;
    int y = 2;
    int z = 3;

    fun1(x, () => fun2(y));
    fun1(x, () => fun3(y, z));
    

    }

    static void fun1(int x, Action call)
    {
    call();
    }

    static void fun2(int y) { ... }
    static void fun3(int y, int z) { ... }

      Your second code example also make no sense, and will never compile. I believe you are very "lost" in C#: now, there's nothing wrong with that; everyone here was once a "beginner," and went through some degree of confusion. Here's how to get "un-lost:" Get the Visual Studio Edition, get the free book by Charles Petzold, "Dot Net Zero" [^]. Start at the beginning of that book and study the basics of C# carefully, start programming the examples in that book. cheers, Bill

      i am sorry,indeed i am a beginner. I don't know how to meet my requirement. My requirement as follows: I want to code an optimization algrithm function to calculate Minimized value. It can input function that needed optimization, like fun2 or fun3 ,etc... that i said. It means if i input fun2 to optimization function ,it can search fun2's Minimized value, if input fun3, it can search fun3's Minimized value.But fun2 and fun3 or other functions don't have same style input variable,their input variable style and number is not same. how can i realize it?

        Thank you very much,it 's near my requirement. But one more requirement is that: static void fun1(int x, Action call) { call(); } take fun3(y,z) for example, call() is run fun3(y,z). but if i want to run fun3(x,z) ,how to realize it? you know ,i want to change y value in fun1 to call fun2(int y) or fun3(int y,int z),because my code use loop to change y value in fun1,to let fun2 or fun3 be a minimum value.

          So something like this:

          static void Main()
          {
          int x = 1;
          int z = 3;
          fun1(x, y => fun2(y));
          fun1(x, y => fun3(y, z));
          }

          static void fun1(int x, Action<int> call)
          {
          call(x);
          }

          static void fun2(int y) { ... }
          static void fun3(int y, int z) { ... }

            Great Job!!! Thank you very much. And i have other question bothering me. I have to use chart control to plot 10 series including 1000 points per series in one chartarea. But after ploting, mouse move or zoom in or ContextMenuStrip operation is very slow and delay. I think maybe paint problem. When i ask before, i get the answer is point number is too big. But i found that if i plot 200 series with 1 point for example as follows, the operation is also slow. How can treat it? follows is for example: Series series1; for(int i=0;i<200;i++) { series1=new series(); series1.Points.Add(new DataPoint(i,i)); chart1.Series.Add(series1); }

              The more points you need to draw, the longer it takes. If there had been a useless delay in the chart-control, people would have noticed.

                I mean Dalay is not that Chart generating process is slow, when i finished plot, i want to operate on Chart, like mouse moving, Scroll... is slow.

                  Meaning it will have to recalculate which part it should show and repaint it. That takes time. Smaller charts with less points will be faster. If you find that the Chart-control is "too slow" for your needs, you may have to implement your own.

                      Stop the user from scrolling, panning and/or zooming, and you don't need to refresh. If anything changes, a refresh would be required to get the updated data on screen.

                          Sure; use the drawing functions to draw your chart. Means writing code to calculate the length of the axes, drawing each point, drawing some labels.

                            Hi, i have another question... If i want to use multi-thread to call fun1, how can i input the variable x, y,z? for example: static void Main() { int x = 1; int z = 3; Thread th=new Thread(fun1( ? )) //how can i do ? th.start(); // fun1(x, y => fun2(y)); // fun1(x, y => fun3(y, z)); } static void fun1(int x, Action call) { call(x); } static void fun2(int y) { ... } static void fun3(int y, int z) { ... }

                                  Don't. How To Stop a Thread in .NET (and Why Thread.Abort is Evil)[^] If you're using .NET 4.5 or above, you'd probably have better luck using async and await.

                                    Something like this:

                                    Thread th = new Thread(() => fun1(x, y => fun3(y, z)));

                                    Breaking it down:

                                    Action<int> call = y => fun3(y, z);
                                    ThreadStart start = () => fun1(x, call);
                                    Thread th = new Thread(start);

                                    hi, If i use Func call= y=>fun3(y,z) , fun3 can be one output param function. But if my function need 2 or more output, how can i do it?

                                      Sorry, I'm not following you. Do you mean you want multiple return values from your function? If so, you'll need to create a class or structure to contain them:

                                      public struct Fun3ReturnValues
                                      {
                                      public int SomeValue { get; set; }
                                      public string SomeOtherValue { get; set; }
                                      }
                                      ...
                                      public static Fun3ReturnValues Fun3(int y, int z)
                                      {
                                      return new Fun3ReturnValues
                                      {
                                      SomeValue = 42,
                                      SomeOtherValue = "Hello",
                                      };
                                      }

                                      Alternatively, you could use the Tuple class[^], but the meaning of the values wouldn't be as clear.
