VB.net to C# Equivalent of "AddressOf"

I am trying to implement this example

http://blog.evonet.com.au/post/Gridview-with-highlighted-search-results.aspx

but the only problem I am facing is the AddressOf keyword of VB.net which I am unable to convert in C#.net

can anybody help me out with this, what alternative I should use to make it work.

Thanks.

Edit: I found some searches on stackoverflow regarding similar problems but I am unable to understand them.

Solution

  • You can just leave it out. Method groups are implicitly convertible to delegates in C#.

    return ResultStr.Replace(InputTxt, new MatchEvaluator(ReplaceWords))

    Or even simpler(I think this requires C# 2):

    return ResultStr.Replace(InputTxt, ReplaceWords);

    But since ReplaceWords is so simple, I'd consider a lambda expression(Requires C# 3):

    return ResultStr.Replace(InputTxt, m => "<span class=highlight>" + m + "</span>");
