Why we use delegates and what is the major role? I have taken 2 web forms and in each form I have taken one textbox. By using delegates if I write any thing in one text box it will reflect on other textbox in another form - is it possible?

Thanks!

You should search Google/Bing before you ask such question. There is a comprehensive documentation in MSDN, plus there are so many other articles/tutorials with examples.
Start here[^]!
