C#: Raising an inherited event

by

What you have to do , is this:

In your base class (where you have declared the events), create protected methods which can be used to raise the events:

public class MyClass
{
   public event EventHandler Loading;
   public event EventHandler Finished;

   protected virtual void OnLoading(EventArgs e)
   {
       EventHandler handler = Loading;
       if( handler != null )
       {
           handler(this, e);
       }
   }

   protected virtual void OnFinished(EventArgs e)
   {
       EventHandler handler = Finished;
       if( handler != null )
       {
           handler(this, e);
       }
   }
}

(Note that you should probably change those methods, in order to check whether you have to Invoke the eventhandler or not).

Then, in classes that inherit from this base class, you can just call the OnFinished or OnLoading methods to raise the events:

public AnotherClass : MyClass
{
    public void DoSomeStuff()
    {
        ...
        OnLoading(EventArgs.Empty);
        ...
        OnFinished(EventArgs.Empty);
    }
}
