Remarks

Use the EventInfo class to inspect events and to hook up event handlers, as shown in the example code for the AddEventHandler method.

NoteNote:

EventInfo is not intended to be used to raise events. An object raises events as dictated by its internal state.

Calling ICustomAttributeProvider.GetCustomAttributes on EventInfo when the inherit parameter of GetCustomAttributes is true does not walk the type hierarchy. You can use System.Attribute to walk the type hierarchy for custom attributes, but only if all the attributes derive from System.Attribute.

In Silverlight, you cannot inherit from EventInfo.

Examples

The following code gets an EventInfo object for the MouseLeftButtonUp event of a TextBlock control.

Imports System.Reflection

Class Example

    Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

        Dim myType As Type = outputBlock.GetType()

        Dim myEvent As EventInfo = myType.GetEvent("MouseLeftButtonUp", _
            BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.Public)

        If Not (myEvent Is Nothing) Then
            outputBlock.Text &= "Looking for the MouseLeftButtonUp event in the " & _
                myType.FullName & " class." & vbCrLf
            outputBlock.Text &= myEvent.ToString() & vbCrLf
        Else
            outputBlock.Text &= "The MouseLeftButtonUp event is not found in the " & _
                myType.FullName & " class." & vbCrLf
        End If

   End Sub 
End Class 

' This example produces the following output:
'
'Looking for the MouseLeftButtonUp event in the System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock class.
'System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseLeftButtonUp
using System.Reflection;
using System;

class Example
{
    public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
    {
        Type myType = outputBlock.GetType();

        EventInfo myEvent = myType.GetEvent("MouseLeftButtonUp", 
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);

        if (myEvent != null)
        {
            outputBlock.Text += "Looking for the MouseLeftButtonUp event in the " +
                myType.FullName + " class.\n";
            outputBlock.Text += myEvent.ToString() + "\n";
        }
        else
        {
            outputBlock.Text += "The MouseLeftButtonUp event is not found in the " +
                myType.FullName + " class.\r\n";
        }
    }
}

/* This example produces the following output:

Looking for the MouseLeftButtonUp event in the System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock class.
System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventHandler MouseLeftButtonUp
