i am using textchanged event and i disable it where i don’t need as following

object.Event -= new System.EventHandler(myHandler);
//my code which doesn't need event handler
object.Event += new System.EventHandler(myHandler);

i used many times like this. but i needed sometimes 2 disable code like this:

object.Event -= new System.EventHandler(myHandler);
object.Event -= new System.EventHandler(myHandler);

of course i finished it with 2 enable code

object.Event += new System.EventHandler(myHandler);
object.Event += new System.EventHandler(myHandler);

i don’t know yet why i needed 2 times remove event handler but it worked great.

but in 1 case i got problem.

it doesn’t work with 2 or more disable code.

my question is, how can i watch this eventhandler if it needs just one -= code or more?
or how can i manage it?
i always worked like this, to make sure that i always leave event handler as first time

object.Event -= new System.EventHandler(myHandler);
//my code which doesn't need event handler
object.Event += new System.EventHandler(myHandler);

    My advice would be to stop removing and re-adding the event handler, and instead add a flag to your event handler itself which inhibits whatever activities you need to inhibit during these sections of code.

    You can either have a single boolean flag, or use some kind of reference count, depending on how you need to cope with nesting.

    If there’s some reason why you can’t change the existing event handler, what about creating a new event hander which you attach to Event, and call the old one from that?
