Event in C#

 In C#, event handling is the process of responding to an occurrence of a particular event. Events can be raised by user actions, such as clicking a button or pressing a key, or they can be raised by the system or other components of an application.

Here are the steps involved in handling events in C#:

  1. Define the delegate: A delegate is a type that represents a method that can be called when an event occurs. In C#, delegates are used to define event handlers. You can define your own delegate or use one of the pre-defined delegates provided by the .NET framework.

  2. Define the event: An event is a mechanism for raising a notification that something has happened. In C#, you can define your own events by creating an instance of the delegate that will handle the event.

  3. Subscribe to the event: To handle an event, you must subscribe to it. This is done by creating an instance of the delegate that will handle the event, and then adding this instance to the event's invocation list.

  4. Define the event handler method: The event handler method is the method that will be called when the event is raised. It should have the same signature as the delegate that was defined for the event.

  5. Raise the event: To raise an event, you simply invoke the delegate that represents the event. This will cause all the methods in the event's invocation list to be called.

Here's an example of event handling in C#:

csharp
// Define the delegate public delegate void EventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e); // Define the event public event EventHandler MyEvent; // Subscribe to the event MyEvent += new EventHandler(MyEventHandler); // Define the event handler method private void MyEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Handle the event here } // Raise the event MyEvent?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);

In this example, we first define the delegate that will handle the event. We then define the event itself by creating an instance of the delegate. We subscribe to the event by adding an instance of the event handler method to the event's invocation list. Finally, we raise the event by invoking the delegate that represents it
