What is the difference between Delegate & Action in C#

by

Action is a Delegate. It is defined like this:

public delegate void Action();

You could create your own delegate types similarly to how you would create abstract methods; you write the signature but no implementation. You then create instances of these delegates by taking the reference of a method.

class Program
{
    public static void FooMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Called foo");
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        Action foo = FooMethod; // foo now references FooMethod()
        foo(); // outputs "Called foo"
    }
}
