Difference between wiring events with and without “new”

by

I did this

static void Hook1()
{
    someEvent += new EventHandler( Program_someEvent );
}

static void Hook2()
{
    someEvent += Program_someEvent;
}

And then ran ildasm over the code.
The generated MSIL was exactly the same.

So to answer your question, yes they are the same thing.
The compiler is just inferring that you want someEvent += new EventHandler( Program_someEvent );
— You can see it creating the new EventHandler object in both cases in the MSIL
