Question

I’m trying to learn raising and handling events in C#.

Here’s my simple example:

///////////////  creating a new BALL object ///    
ballClass ball = new ballClass();

void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // this should make the BALL object raise an event
    ball.onHit();
    label1.Text = "EVENT SEND";
}
   
// when event is fired, label text should change
void BallInPlayEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    label2.Text = "EVENT FOUND!";
}

and the ball class:

class ballClass
{
    public event EventHandler BallInPlay;
    
    public void onHit()
    {
        this.BallInPlay ///// ??? how should i raise this event?
    }
}

In the call I can’t really understand, how do I raise the event?

Answer 1

public void onHit()
{
   if(BallInPlay != null)
     BallInPlay(this, new EventArgs());
}
