Replacing delegates with lamda expressions

If you understand a lamda expression, you realized that it is just another step in the evolution of delegates. Now that Visual Studio intellisense and the .NET compiler can infer from a delegate declaration what parameters are required for a delegate, and their types, we no longer have to use the "delegate" keyword or the parameter types...we just need to specify some parameter names.

For example, an older style event delegate would be done like:

x.Completed += delegate(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... };

Now all we need to code is:

x.Completed += (sender, e) => { ... };

Again, the development environment already knows that the Completed event needs two parameters, a object and a EventArgs; there is no need for us to supply those pieces of information.
