Wow, having been dubbed the king of bad analogies, and justifiably so, it really feels
weird to get complimented for one. Especially
because it took male pattern baldness and color loss to bring out the best in me.
hehehe (Thanks BTW)
Even so, I'll have to disagree with you on this one. In order to hook up to the
individual hair you have to first find it. That
would take a proactive scan through potentially all the hairs, not just the minor
percentage of those that have fallen out. Not to
mention the closely coupled monitoring, and the extra weight of the invocation list
may make the curly little guy uncomfortable
enough to jump before his time.
I'd extend the comb and let it straighten this out too... <gd&r>
While you are busy looking for that proverbial needle in a hair stack so you can hook
up a callback to it, I'll be basking on the
beach, comfortable in my knowledge that I'll be notified "if and when". Less cycles
all around. ;-)
public class OriginalHairWatcherComb : Comb
public event HairLoss LastOriginalHairGone;
public override void OnHairLoss(object sender, HairLossEventArgs e) {
if ((Color.Gray != e.Color) && (null != LastOriginalHairGone))
LastOrigalHairGone(this, e);
//Ignore gray hair loss...
//base.OnHairLoss(sender, e);
}
}

Nice analogy. :)
What if you had thousands of grey hairs, but only one of your original
colour? You might not care about all the grey hairs ending up in your comb,
but you would want to know about the coloured one.
In this case, it's neater to just hook up to the individual hair rather than
filtering all the uninteresting events from the comb.
Cheers,
G.

So, if you are interested in watching the rate of hair loss, are you going
to hook up a callback to each follicle?
Personally, I'd rather just hook up the comb, and let it tell me when a hair
gets stuck in there. Any interesting information I need
about why the little deserter abandoned post I can get from the hair itself
as a member of the HairLossEventArg type.
Interestingly, my hair loss is a result of inheritance, which I can also use
to extend my hair... What's up with that?
