> Another thing is we can't use the delegate type we created interchangeably with its counterpart generic delegates unfortunately even though they have same signature (and not with explicit conversion either).

While it is true that explicit cast will not work, there is still a way to do an explicit conversion here:

DataChangedDelegate dataChanged;

Action<int, int> genericFunc;

dataChanged = new DataChangedDelegate(genericFunc);

And, of course, while speaking about this, it is also worth mentioning some slightly more specialized generic delegate types from .NET 2.0 such as Predicate<T>.
