Well, that's just the thing. In .NET they're exposing a bit more of the plumbing when you see a delegate. If I subscribed to an event, how does VB know what methods to call back to? It must maintain a list somewhere, right? Even if you don't have access to it, it's there, somewhere. Now imagine that list is a class (a special type, one that can't be subclasses from) and you have access to it - that's all a delegate is.
