闭包是在另一个函数(或方法)中定义的函数，它使用父方法中的变量。这种位于方法中并包装在其中定义的函数中的变量的使用称为闭包。

Mark Seemann在他的博客文章中有一些关于闭包的有趣例子，他将面向对象编程和函数式编程进行了比较。

让它更详细

var workingDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory);//when this variable
Func<int, string> read = id =>
    {
        var path = Path.Combine(workingDirectory.FullName, id + ".txt");//is used inside this function
        return File.ReadAllText(path);
    };//the entire process is called a closure.

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.

编译器在后台生成一个类来封装匿名方法和变量j

[CompilerGenerated]
private sealed class <>c__DisplayClass2
{
    public <>c__DisplayClass2();
    public void <fillFunc>b__0()
    {
       Console.Write("{0} ", this.j);
    }
    public int j;
}

对于函数:

static void fillFunc(int count) {
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        int j = i;
        funcArr[i] = delegate()
                     {
                         Console.Write("{0} ", j);
                     };
    } 
}

把它变成:

private static void fillFunc(int count)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        Program.<>c__DisplayClass1 class1 = new Program.<>c__DisplayClass1();
        class1.j = i;
        Program.funcArr[i] = new Func(class1.<fillFunc>b__0);
    }
}

闭包是在另一个函数(或方法)中定义的函数，它使用父方法中的变量。这种位于方法中并包装在其中定义的函数中的变量的使用称为闭包。

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。
