procedure procA
procedure procB
begin
// procedure B code here
end;
begin
// procedure A code here calling procB
end;
It's not the type of thing I used a lot, but there were times where it came in handy. It was a nice thing to have in the tool belt even if it wasn't pulled out too often. A couple times I have wanted to do this in C# and have resorted to other means.
Today while reading an article by John Cook about C++, I realized this is trivially easy to do in C#: simply use named lambdas. It's one of those things that's so obviously simple and easy, I don't know why it didn't occur to me before.
So, the above Pascal code could be written in C# like so:
public void procA()
{
Action procB = () =>
{
// procedure B code here
}
// procedure A code here calling procB()
}

Comments are welcome but I do moderate them. This is simply to keep things wholesome for general family viewing. By default, comments will be accepted. The few things that will cause a comment to be rejected are:
1. It is too long even though it may be well-written and make interesting points. It's supposed to be a comment, not an essay. If you have that much to say, write a blog article and backlink to me.
2. It is nasty, impolite or uses language that is unacceptable.
3. It includes a a link that has a typo or is broken in some other way.
4. It should have been sent as an e-mail since it is clearly addressed to me and does not appear to have been intended for other readers.
5. It is blatantly self-promotional. This does not mean it can't be self-promotional at all, but it should add some value over an above the marketing.
