Question

I must be missing something obvious – I am new to .NET – been developing in C++/MFC for years.

In an event handler for a button click I would like to then re-use another event handler/click. However, I can’t seem to figure out how to do that.

The bit that may be causing trouble is that the handler for the second item I want to “fire” is not on the same form/context.

It seems that I should just be able to call the method…

But I don’t seem to be able to do it.

This is in compact framework/Win Mobile

You need to do one of the following:

• Provide access to the handler’s containing class instance (i.e. a reference to that object)
• Make the handler a static so any instance can reference it directly
• Put the handler in some other globally available object (static, singleton, etc) so both consumers can use it
• Use a framework that provides event aggregation so you don’t have to worry about such things
