[VS 2008+] Class Strings with OnChange Event

This is just a simple little thing cause i'm bored at work and i figure it could be helpful to ppl later, as figuring this out was very helpful to me long ago, and now i almost never make a class without it.

code Code:

'Needed for Implementing the Inotify change event
Imports System.ComponentModel
 
Public Class Class1
    Implements INotifyPropertyChanged
 
#Region "Inotify"
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Duh? the sub Value for our String Property
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Private _strValue As String
 
    ''' <summary>
    ''' The Stringed Property to watch
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <value></value>
    ''' <returns></returns>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Property strValue As String
        Get
            Return _strValue
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            'No need to change it if it's still the same
            If _strValue <> value Then
                _strValue = value
                ' Raise the Event Flag!
                OnPropertyChanged(value)
            End If
        End Set
    End Property
 
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Establish the event
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Public Event PropertyChanged As PropertyChangedEventHandler Implements INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged
 
 
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Sub to run on the event
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="name"></param>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Sub OnPropertyChanged(ByVal name As String)
        Dim handler As PropertyChangedEventHandler = PropertyChangedEvent
 
        If handler IsNot Nothing Then
            handler(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs(name))
        End If
 
    End Sub
 
    ' Dim your class with events and walla
#End Region
 
End Class
