Simplifying Event Registration Using Visual Studio 2008

Visual Studio 2008 offers assistance with the process of registering event handlers. When you apply

the += syntax during the act of event registration, you will find an IntelliSense window is displayed

inviting you to hit the Tab key to autofill the associated delegate instance (see Figure 11-6).

Delegate selection IntelliSense

Once you do hit the Tab key, you are then invited to enter the name of the event handler to be

generated (or simply accept the default name) as shown in Figure 11-7.

Figure 11-7.

Delegate target format IntelliSense

Once you hit the Tab key again, you will be provided with stub code in the correct format of the

delegate target (note that this method has been declared static due to the fact that the event was

registered within the static Main() method):

static void c1_AboutToBlow(string msg)

{

// Add your code!

}

This IntelliSense feature is available to all .NET events in the base class libraries. This IDE fea-

ture is a massive time-saver, given that this removes you from the act of needing to search the .NET

help system to figure out the correct delegate to use with a particular event as well as the format of

the delegate target.
