'Declaration
Public Function GetRemoveMethod As MethodInfo

The method that is used to remove an event-handler delegate from the event source, or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the method is not public.

Remarks
The method that is returned by GetRemoveMethod has a special name that consists of the prefix "remove_" followed by the name of the event, and is referred to as the remove accessor. The access level of the remove accessor is the same as the access level of the event. The remove accessor is called by compiled C# and Visual Basic code that unhooks event handlers, and by the RemoveEventHandler method, which is used to unhook event handlers in late-bound scenarios. It cannot be called directly from Visual Basic or C# source code. It can be called from dynamic code that is emitted by using the types in the System.Reflection.Emit namespace.
