Message: [QUOTE="tshad, post: 13868372"] I was looking at a tutorial for events and can't figure out his worked with the delegate inside the object. using System; namespace CustomEvents { public class Car { public delegate void OwnerChangedEventHandler(string newOwner); public event OwnerChangedEventHandler OwnerChanged; private string make; private string model; private int year; private string owner; public string CarMake { get { return this.make; } set { this.make = value; } } public string CarModel { get { return this.model; } set { this.model = value; } } public int CarYear { get { return this.year; } set { this.year = value; } } public string CarOwner { get { return this.owner; } set { this.owner = value; if (this.OwnerChanged != null) this.OwnerChanged(value); } } public Car() { } } } If I do this in my main routine: Car car = new Car(); //adds an event handler to the OwnerChanged event car.OwnerChanged += new OwnerChangedEventHandler(car_OwnerChanged); //setting this will fire the OwnerChanged event car.CarOwner = "The Reddest"; I get an error on the "new OwnerChangedEventHandler" saying that OwnerChangedEventHandler doesn't exist. If I moved the delegate to before the car class: ************************************** class Program { public delegate void OwnerChangedEventHandler(string newOwner); public class Car { ************************************** Now it works fine. Am I missing something in the article? I get that the delegate is in the class not the object - but why did it work in the article. It was the last example in the article: [URL]http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/csharp-snippet-tutorial-custom-event-handlers[/URL] Thanks, Tom [/QUOTE]
