Question

I’m migrating some code from VB.NET to C# (4.0).

I find structurs like:

Private Sub WhitePointHttpApplicationBase_BeginRequest(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.BeginRequest

End Sub

What is the most straight-forward to translate such behavior in C#?

Answer 1

In the constructor add this.BeginRequest+=WhitePointHttpApplicationBase_BeginRequest;

You’ll also need the method to exist:
private void WhitePointHttpApplicationBase_BeginRequest(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
{
//Your event code here
}

The following is your code from the comment with corrections:

namespace WhitePoint.Solutions.Web 
{ 
    public abstract class WhitePointHttpApplicationBase : HttpApplication { 

        protected WhitePointHttpApplicationBase()
        {
            this.BeginRequest += WhitePointHttpApplicationBase_BeginRequest; 
        }
        #region "Member" 
        #endregion 

        private void WhitePointHttpApplicationBase_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { } 
    } 
} 

The this.BeginRequest += was not in a constructor.

The abstract class now how a default protected constructor, any classes that inherit should call this base constructor if you expect the code to run.
