Understanding Event Handling in C#

This document provides an overview of events in .NET. It defines events as allowing an object to notify other objects of a change, with subscribers registering interest in the event. When the event occurs, subscribers provide a method to be called. Events are defined within a class and subscribers add handlers using +=. Notifying an event calls all subscribed handlers. Events can pass parameters by deriving a class from EventArgs. An example shows subscribing a timer elapsed event and handling it to write characters from a string.

Events

 Events allow an object to notify other objects that a change has


occurred. The other objects can register an interest in an event,
and they will be notified when the event occurs.

 How Events work?


 Publisher raises an event to alert all interested objects
(subscribers)
 Subscriber provides a method to be called when the event is
raised

 Defining an event

event mydelegate myevent; (To be declared within the class)


Events
 Subscribing to an Event
[Link] = new mydelegate([Link]);
[Link] += new mydelegate(obj.my1);
 Notifying
[Link]();
 Passing parameters to events
 Derive a class from EventArgs
 Have the necessary get methods
 Create the delegate with 2 parameters one is the
sender and the other is the eventargs
Handling an event

 To handle an event we need to subscribe to the


event by providing an event handler function whose
signature matches that of delegate specified for use
with the event.
Example - Events
using System;
using [Link];
namespace events
{
public class EventHandler2
{
static int counter = 0;
static string str = "STG INTERNATIONAL
LIMITED";
public static void WriteChar(object o,
ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
[Link](str[counter++ % [Link]]);
}
Example - Events

static void Main(string[] arg)


{
Timer tm = new Timer(100);
[Link] += new
ElapsedEventHandler(WriteChar);
[Link]();
[Link]();
}
}
}
