MultiCastDelegate vs Delegate

[Nima]

The documentation for the Delegate and the MultiCastDelega te classes tell me
that when we have a line like:

public delegate void CheckAndPrintDe legate(string str);

it causes the compiler to generate a new delegate class named
CheckAndPrintDe legate that inherits from System.Multicas tDelegate.

Elsewhere it says a the same delegate definition produces a delegate class
inheriting from System.Delegate .

Under what condition does this construct create an instance of
System.Delegate and under what condition does it create an instance of
System.Multicas tDelegate?

Thanks

Well the delegate's immediate base class is MulticastDelega te, but
that in turn inherits from Delegate so you could argue that both
statements are true.
