<clause number="22.2" title="Delegate instantiation">
<paragraph>An instance of a delegate is created by a <non_terminal where="14.5.10.3">delegate-creation-expression</non_terminal> (<hyperlink>14.5.10.3</hyperlink>). The newly created delegate instance then refers to either: <list><list_item> The static method referenced in the <non_terminal where="14.5.10.3">delegate-creation-expression</non_terminal>, or </list_item><list_item> The target object (which cannot be null) and instance method referenced in the <non_terminal where="14.5.10.3">delegate-creation-expression</non_terminal>, or </list_item><list_item> Another delegate <example>[Example: For example: <code_example><![CDATA[
delegate void D(int x);
class Test
{
public static void M1(int i) {...}
public void M2(int i) {...}
}
class Demo
{
static void Main() {
D cd1 = new D(Test.M1); // static method
Test t = new Test();
D cd2 = new D(t.M2); // instance method
D cd3 = new D(cd2); // another delegate
}

<paragraph>Once instantiated, delegate instances always refer to the same target object and method. <note>[Note: Remember, when two delegates are combined, or one is removed from another, a new delegate results with its own invocation list; the invocation lists of the delegates combined or removed remain unchanged. end note]</note> </paragraph>
