I'm a VB programmer trying to learn C#, and I'm having trouble doing the
setup for writing event procedures for built-in WinForms controls.
Here's an example: I have a ComboBox control, and I want to write code for
the SelectedIndexChanged event. With help from the list archives, I found
that I could go to the Events tab of the Forms Designer Property window,
and double-click on the SelectedIndexChanged event, in order to generate a
function with the correct signature. So far, so good.
I know that I also have to generate a line in the form constructor like:
this.cboName += new EventHandler(cboName_SelectedIndexChanged);
But how can I figure out what goes after the "new" keyword? In other
words, how do I determine the appropriate built-in delegate type. The way
I did it in this case was to look up the SelectedIndexChanged event in the
ComboBox members help article, and check the type of the event. However, I
don't want to spend 3 to 5 minutes looking up the delegate type for every
event.
How are more experienced C# programmers hooking up events in a RAD
fashion? I'm looking for a shortcut similar to (but hopefully
easier/quicker than) the one for getting the event signature.
This is so easy in VB 6.0 and VB.NET.
