Generic Methods pass in a delegate to the method?

Question

Is it possible to have a generic method that requires a delegate(?) for a method or just a code block to be passed in as a parameter?

Say I have AddJob() and AddJob2(). I want these passed into a Generic method that runs some skeleton code but then executes the AddJob or AddJob2.

Thanks!

Edit:
I'm on .net 2.0.

Answer 1

Sure:

public void AddJob(string jobName) { ... }
public void AddJob2(string jobName) { ... }

public void RunAddJob(Action addJob)
{
    ...
    addJob();
}

static void Main()
{
    RunAddJob(() => AddJob("job1"));
    RunAddJob(() => AddJob2("job2"));
}

Edit: the non-generic System.Action is new in .NET 3.5. For .NET 2.0, you can assume:

public delegate void Action();

Answer 2

Most of the Enumerable class (for LINQ) works like that.

T MyFunc<T>(T t, Func<T, T> addjob)
{
    return addjob(t);
}


MyFunc(5, i => i + 10);
