simple custom event

by

This is an easy way to create custom events and raise them. You create a delegate and an event in the class you are throwing from. Then subscribe to the event from another part of your code. You have already got a custom event argument class so you can build on that to make other event argument classes. N.B: I have not compiled this code.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private TestClass _testClass;
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        _testClass = new TestClass();
        _testClass.OnUpdateStatus += new TestClass.StatusUpdateHandler(UpdateStatus);
    }

    private void UpdateStatus(object sender, ProgressEventArgs e)
    {
        SetStatus(e.Status);
    }

    private void SetStatus(string status)
    {
        label1.Text = status;
    }

    private void button1_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         TestClass.Func();
    }

}

public class TestClass
{
    public delegate void StatusUpdateHandler(object sender, ProgressEventArgs e);
    public event StatusUpdateHandler OnUpdateStatus;

    public static void Func()
    {
        //time consuming code
        UpdateStatus(status);
        // time consuming code
        UpdateStatus(status);
    }

    private void UpdateStatus(string status)
    {
        // Make sure someone is listening to event
        if (OnUpdateStatus == null) return;

        ProgressEventArgs args = new ProgressEventArgs(status);
        OnUpdateStatus(this, args);
    }
}

public class ProgressEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    public string Status { get; private set; }

    public ProgressEventArgs(string status)
    {
        Status = status;
    }
}
