Event on an item in a collection

[meyousikmann]

This will be difficult to explain so bear with me. If anyone is
familiar with Tibco Rendezvous and/or Microsoft Messaging, this may
make more sense.

I've created a hierarchy of objects that looks something like this:

Tibco-->Transports-->Transport

Where Tibco is the overall component that owns a collection of
Transports and each Transport is an object of a class.

What I want to be able to do is have an event that will fire at the
Transport level whenever a message is received by the application but
I can't seem to figure out how to add an event to a collection item.
To make this question more generic, I simply want to have an event
attached to a collection item contained inside of a collection.

Here is some code:

public class Tibco : System.ComponentModel.Component
{
internal TransportCollection transports;

public Tibco()
{
this.transports = new TransportCollection();
}

public TransportCollection Transports
{
get
{
return this.transports;
}
}
}

public class TransportCollection :
System.Collections.Generic.List<Transport>
{
}

public class Transport
{
private System.String service;
private System.String network;
private System.String daemon;
internal ListenerCollection listeners;

public System.String Service
{
get
{
return this.service;
}
set
{
this.service = value;
}
}

public System.String Network
{
get
{
return this.network;
}
set
{
this.network = value;
}
}

public System.String Daemon
{
get
{
return this.daemon;
}
set
{
this.daemon = value;
}
}

public Transport()
{
this.listeners = new ListenerCollection();
}

public ListenerCollection Listeners
{
get
{
return this.listeners;
}
}
}


What I need is to be able to define an event for the Transport.

Any suggestions?

One common way is to pass the collection as a parameter in the item
constructor. The collection items then call this.Parent.OnMyEvent().
Listeners register to the collection.

Thanks for the reply. I can see how to make it work in code, however,
I probably should've mentioned that I would like to be able to assign
the event to the collection item at design time. My searching has
told me that I need to write my own design editor to support the
events tab on the property page for each collection item, but I have
yet to find information on how to do that or figure it out myself. If
anyone knows how to do this or knows of a source that explains it, I
would very much appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
