Creating a Custom Event
Declare the class containing the event:
class MyClass {
public event EventHandler MyEvent;
public void Method() {
OnEvent();
}
private void OnEvent() {
if (MyEvent != null) {
MyEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
}
Use it like this:
MyClass myObject = new MyClass();
myObject.MyEvent += new EventHandler(myObject_MyEvent);
myObject.Method();
Yes you can create events on objects, here is an example;
public class Foo
{
public delegate void MyEvent(object sender, object param);
event MyEvent OnMyEvent;
public Foo()
{
this.OnMyEvent += new MyEvent(Foo_OnMyEvent);
}
void Foo_OnMyEvent(object sender, object param)
{
if (this.OnMyEvent != null)
{
//do something
}
}
void RaiseEvent()
{
object param = new object();
this.OnMyEvent(this,param);
}
}

public class Metronome
{
public event TickHandler Tick;
public EventArgs e = null;
public delegate void TickHandler(Metronome m, EventArgs e);
public void Start()
{
while (true)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000);
if (Tick != null)
{
Tick(this, e);
}
}
}
}
public class Listener
{
public void Subscribe(Metronome m)
{
m.Tick += new Metronome.TickHandler(HeardIt);
}
private void HeardIt(Metronome m, EventArgs e)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("HEARD IT");
}
}
class Test
{
static void Main()
{
Metronome m = new Metronome();
Listener l = new Listener();
l.Subscribe(m);
m.Start();
}
}
