- When you need to define an object type's characteristics, use an interface. When you need to define an object type's capabilities, use an abstract class.
- Interfaces are a legacy of older versions of C#, and are interchangeable with the newer abstract class feature.
- When you need a list of capabilities and data that are classes-agnostic, use an interface. When you need a certain object type to share characteristics, use an abstract class.
- You should use both an interface and an abstract class when defining any complex object.
- Delegates are not supported in the current version of C#
- They cannot be used as callbacks.
- Only variables can be passed to delegates as parameters.
