In essence, a closure is a block of code that can be executed at a later time, but which maintains the environment in which it was first created - i.e. it can still use the local variables, etc of the method which created it, even after that method has finished executing. The general feature of closures is implemented in C# by anonymous methods and lambda expressions. Here's an example using an anonymous method: using System; class Test {      static void Main()      {           Action action = CreateAction();           action();           action();      }      static Action CreateAction()      {           int counter = 0;           return delegate           {                // Yes, it could be done in one statement;                // but it is clearer like this.                counter++;                Console.WriteLine("counter={0}", counter);
