Listening to Incoming Events

C# events also simplify the act of registering the caller-side event handlers. Rather than having to

specify custom helper methods, the caller simply makes use of the += and -= operators directly

(which triggers the correct add_XXX() or remove_XXX() method in the background). When you wish

to register with an event, follow the pattern shown here:

// ObjectVariable.EventName +=

// new AssociatedDelegate(functionToCall);

Car.EngineHandler d = new Car.CarEventHandler(CarExplodedEventHandler)

myCar.Exploded += d;
