闭包是保留原始作用域变量值的函数值。c#可以以匿名委托的形式使用它们。

举一个非常简单的例子，看看下面的c#代码:

delegate int testDel();

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    int foo = 4;
    testDel myClosure = delegate()
    {
        return foo;
    };
    int bar = myClosure();
}

在它的末尾，bar将被设置为4，并且myClosure委托可以传递给程序的其他地方使用。

闭包可以用于很多有用的事情，比如延迟执行或简化接口——LINQ主要是使用闭包构建的。对于大多数开发人员来说，最直接的方法是向动态创建的控件添加事件处理程序——当控件实例化时，您可以使用闭包来添加行为，而不是将数据存储在其他地方。

下面是我从JavaScript中类似的代码创建的c#人为示例:

public delegate T Iterator<T>() where T : class;

public Iterator<T> CreateIterator<T>(IList<T> x) where T : class
{
    var i = 0; 
    return delegate { return (i < x.Count) ? x[i++] : null; };
}

所以，这里有一些代码，展示了如何使用上面的代码…

var iterator = CreateIterator(new string[3] { "Foo", "Bar", "Baz"});

// So, although CreateIterator() has been called and returned, the variable 
// "i" within CreateIterator() will live on because of a closure created 
// within that method, so that every time the anonymous delegate returned 
// from it is called (by calling iterator()) it's value will increment.

string currentString;    
currentString = iterator(); // currentString is now "Foo"
currentString = iterator(); // currentString is now "Bar"
currentString = iterator(); // currentString is now "Baz"
currentString = iterator(); // currentString is now null

希望这对大家有所帮助。

A closure aims to simplify functional thinking, and it allows the runtime to manage state, releasing extra complexity for the developer. A closure is a first-class function with free variables that are bound in the lexical environment. Behind these buzzwords hides a simple concept: closures are a more convenient way to give functions access to local state and to pass data into background operations. They are special functions that carry an implicit binding to all the nonlocal variables (also called free variables or up-values) referenced. Moreover, a closure allows a function to access one or more nonlocal variables even when invoked outside its immediate lexical scope, and the body of this special function can transport these free variables as a single entity, defined in its enclosing scope. More importantly, a closure encapsulates behavior and passes it around like any other object, granting access to the context in which the closure was created, reading, and updating these values.

Func<int, int> GetMultiplier(int a)
{
     return delegate(int b) { return a * b; } ;
}
//...
var fn2 = GetMultiplier(2);
var fn3 = GetMultiplier(3);
Console.WriteLine(fn2(2));  //outputs 4
Console.WriteLine(fn2(3));  //outputs 6
Console.WriteLine(fn3(2));  //outputs 6
Console.WriteLine(fn3(3));  //outputs 9

闭包是传递到创建闭包的函数外部的匿名函数。 它维护它所使用的函数中的任何变量。

闭包是在函数中定义的函数，可以访问它的局部变量以及它的父变量。

public string GetByName(string name)
{
    List<things> theThings = new List<things>();
    return  theThings.Find<things>(t => t.Name == name)[0];
}

find方法中的函数。

t => t.Name == name

可以访问其作用域中的变量t，以及父作用域中的变量名。即使它是由find方法作为委托从另一个作用域执行的。

基本上闭包是一段代码，你可以把它作为参数传递给函数。c#支持匿名委托形式的闭包。

这里有一个简单的例子: 列表。Find方法可以接受并执行一段代码(闭包)来查找列表的项。

// Passing a block of code as a function argument
List<int> ints = new List<int> {1, 2, 3};
ints.Find(delegate(int value) { return value == 1; });

使用c# 3.0语法，我们可以这样写:

ints.Find(value => value == 1);
