[RESOLVED] [2.0] Generic Event

[penagate]

Consider this class/delegate:

public delegate void MessageHandler(Message message);

public class CallbackSink : MarshalByRefObject
{
  public event MessageHandler clientMethod;

  [OneWay] public void InvokeClient(Message message)
  {
    if (clientMethod != null)
      clientMethod(message);
  }
}

I'd really like to be able to do this:

public class CallbackSink<T> : MarshalByRefObject
{
  public event T clientMethod;

  // ...

—but it won't let me ("event must be of a delegate type").

Is it possible at all to make the delegate type generic?

Cheers

You can apply constraints to generic type parameters but I can't think of a valid constraint for that condition.

Actually, it was a silly problem. I should have realised that you're supposed to put all of the events into the event sink class instead of making a class for each one.
