C# Equivalent to VB's WithEvents?

[Guest]

Hello,

Thanks for reviewing my question. I am following KB article about creating
a custom control and its source code is in VB. I got to a part where I have
the following:

Private WithEvents mBindingList As IbindingList

What would be the C# equivalent? What is the replacement for WithEvents?

private IBindingList mBindingList;

Thanks for the help.

There's no equivalent to WithEvents. You need to add and remove events
manually somewhere in your code. (That's what VB.NET is doing under the
covers, along with changing field declarations into properties with
hidden fields, so that if you change a field value it unhooks the old
event and adds a new one.)

Hi Peter,

There is no WithEvents in C#. Instead, you use the +=, -= operators to add
and remove event handlers.

Try this tutorial from MSDN:
