Events in a usercontrol.

[Jeremy Martin]

Ok,

I have this code in a usercontrol

public delegate void commandEntered();
public static event commandEntered doCommand; 

but I don't seem to be able to see the event listed in the properties of the control from the form that it is contained on.

Any ideas?

whats the difference between a static event and a non-static event?

The way you attach to it.
For a normal event you write

Button button = new Button();
button.Click += new EventHandler(MyHandler);

For a static event you write

Application.Idle += new EventHandler(MyHandler);

[CornedBee]

In other words it's probably wrong to make events on a user control static.

can some one explain me the whole procedure of declaring Event , adding event and raising the event .. in C# i mean some easy sample code , i had a look .Net help but its seemed bit confused as lot of topic included in tht .. i just want to declare and raise an event in my control .. can some one help ...

I think this is the way it goes.

//define the delegate
delegate void myDelegate();

//define your event from your delegate
event myDelegate myEvent

//raise the event
if (myEvent != null)
{
    myEvent();
}
