Func<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, TResult> Delegate

Encapsulates a method that has eight parameters and returns a value of the type specified by the TResult parameter.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public delegate TResult Func<in T1, in T2, in T3, in T4, in T5, in T6, in T7, in T8, out TResult>(
	T1 arg1,
	T2 arg2,
	T3 arg3,
	T4 arg4,
	T5 arg5,
	T6 arg6,
	T7 arg7,
	T8 arg8
)

Type Parameters

in T1

The type of the first parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

This type parameter is contravariant. That is, you can use either the type you specified or any type that is less derived. For more information about covariance and contravariance, see Covariance and Contravariance in Generics.

in T2

The type of the second parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

in T3

The type of the third parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

in T4

The type of the fourth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

in T5

The type of the fifth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

in T6

The type of the sixth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

in T7

The type of the seventh parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

in T8

The type of the eighth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

out TResult

The type of the return value of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

This type parameter is covariant. That is, you can use either the type you specified or any type that is more derived. For more information about covariance and contravariance, see Covariance and Contravariance in Generics.

Parameters

arg1
Type: T1
The first parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.
arg2
Type: T2
The second parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.
arg3
Type: T3
The third parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.
arg4
Type: T4
The fourth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.
arg5
Type: T5
The fifth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.
arg6
Type: T6
The sixth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.
arg7
Type: T7
The seventh parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.
arg8
Type: T8
The eighth parameter of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

Return Value

Type: TResult
The return value of the method that this delegate encapsulates.

You can use this delegate to represent a method that can be passed as a parameter without explicitly declaring a custom delegate. The encapsulated method must correspond to the method signature that is defined by this delegate. This means that the encapsulated method must have eight parameters, each of which is passed to it by value, and that it must return a value.

NoteNote

To reference a method that has eight parameters and returns void (or in Visual Basic, that is declared as a Sub rather than as a Function), use the generic Action<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8> delegate instead.

You can also use the Func<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, TResult> delegate with anonymous methods and lambda expressions.

The underlying type of a lambda expression is one of the generic Func delegates. This makes it possible to pass a lambda expression as a parameter without explicitly assigning it to a delegate.
