Custom Control

[jammmie999]

Hi guys I am making a custom control/user control. How make mycontrol.dosomething(); fire an event and How do I handle event handlers Thanks

public class MyControl : Control
{
public event EventHandler DoingSomething;

public void DoSomething()
{
    OnDoingSomething(EventArgs.Empty);
}

protected virtual void OnDoingSomething(EventArgs e)
{
    EventHandler eh = DoingSomething;
    if(eh != null)
        eh(this, e);
}

}

The event handler for this event can be done in the same way as any other control. See my Events Made Simple[^] article for more info including custom event args etc.
