Predicate Generic Delegate
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
J# supports the use of generic types and methods, but not the declaration of new ones.
JScript does not support generic types and methods.
Not applicable.
Type Parameters
- T
The type of the object to compare.
Parameters
- obj
The object to compare against the criteria defined within the method represented by this delegate.
Return Value
true if obj meets the criteria defined within the method represented by this delegate; otherwise, false.The following code example uses a Predicate delegate with the Array.Find method to search an array of Point structures. The method the delegate represents, ProductGT10, returns true if the product of the X and Y fields is greater than 100,000. The Find method calls the delegate for each element of the array, stopping at the first point that meets the test condition.

| Visual Basic and C# users do not need to create the delegate explicitly, or to specify the type argument of the generic method. The compilers determine the necessary types from the method arguments you supply. |

Point first = Array.Find(points, ProductGT10); // Note that you do not need to create the delegate // explicitly, or to specify the type parameter of the // generic method, because the C# compiler has enough // context to determine that information for you. // Display the first structure found. Console.WriteLine("Found: X = {0}, Y = {1}", first.X, first.Y); } // This method implements the test condition for the Find // method. private static bool ProductGT10(Point p) { if (p.X * p.Y > 100000) { return true; } else { return false; } } } /* This code example produces the following output: Found: X = 275, Y = 395 */
