Question

When I’m to subscribe to event, i’m coding like that: (in visual studio 2010)

1. I Write down like following code:

this.Loaded +=

2. I Press tab key.

3. A IDE fill a below code automatic:

this.Loaded+=new RoutedEventHandler(someClass_Loaded);

4. But the method someClass was not exist yet. so I write a method like following code:

private void someClass_Loaded()
{
}

5. But signiture of someClass was not defined properly yet. so I set cursor on the delegate, “RoutedEventHandler”.

6. I press F12. and then IDE showing me a define of the RoutedEventHandler.

namespace System.Windows
{
    [...]public delegate void RoutedEventHandler(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e);
}

7. copy a arguments of the RoutedEventHandler.

8. I paste it to the method someClass_Loaded

private void someClass_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
}

Is it best coding practice?

ps. When I subscribe a event by anonymous method, I do like this.

1. press tab key.

Try doing this twice. Not only will Visual Studio expand the new event handler assignment, it will also create a stub method in the class that has the correct name and proper signature.
