Public Function GetAddMethod As MethodInfo

Remarks
The method that is returned by GetAddMethod has a special name that consists of the prefix "add_" followed by the name of the event, and is referred to as the add accessor. The access level of the add accessor is the same as the access level of the event. The add accessor is called by compiled C# and Visual Basic code that hooks up event handlers, and by the AddEventHandler method, which is used to hook up 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.
