Question

When subscribing to events in .NET do I need to create a new instance of the delegate such as

toolbarControl1.OnUploadEventHandler += 
    new ToolbarControl.UploadEventHandler(toolbarControl1_OnUpload);

Or is it better to do the following?

toolbarControl1.OnUploadEventHandler += toolbarControl1_OnUpload;

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The second one takes less coding and both mean the same.

You might want to consider using generic version of EventHandler – EventHandler<TEventArgs>. You will save on declaring all those delegates.

You can also use lambda expressions, ie.

toolbarControl1.OnUploadEventHandler += 
    (sender, args) => { /* Your code goes here */ };
