Question

How do I use RemoveHandler with anonymous methods?

This is how I add a handler for MyEvent event of the class MyClass:

AddHandler MyClass.MyEvent, Sub()
                                '...
                            End Sub

How do I then use RemoveHandler to remove the handler for the MyEvent event?

Answer 1

In general, if you need to unsubscribe from the event, I would recommend not using a lambda like this, and instead use a standard method.

That being said, you can still use the anonymous method, but you need to store a reference to it for the unsubscription. If you must unsubscribe an anonymous method, at a minimum, you should store the delegate in a variable to remove it later:

Dim subscription = Sub()
                            ' ...
                   End Sub

AddHandler MyClass.MyEvent, subscription

' Later   
RemoveHandler MyClass.MyEvent, subscription
