Question

Is it possible to unsubscribe an anonymous method from an event?

If I subscribe to an event like this:

void MyMethod() {     Console.WriteLine('I did it!'); }  MyEvent += MyMethod; 

I can un-subscribe like this:

MyEvent -= MyMethod; 

But if I subscribe using an anonymous method:

MyEvent += delegate(){Console.WriteLine('I did it!');}; 

is it possible to unsubscribe this anonymous method? If so, how?

Answer 1

Action myDelegate = delegate(){Console.WriteLine('I did it!');};  MyEvent += myDelegate;   // .... later  MyEvent -= myDelegate; 

Just keep a reference to the delegate around.
