Public Class EventArgs

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public class EventArgs

The EventArgs type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	EventArgs	Initializes a new instance of the EventArgs class.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Fields

	Name	Description
	Empty	Represents an event with no event data.

Remarks

This class contains no event data; it is used by events that do not pass state information to an event handler when an event is raised. If the event handler requires state information, the application must derive a class from this class to hold the data.

For more information about events, see the EventHandler topic.

Examples

The following code sample illustrates the use of EventArgs.

In this sample, FireEventArgs is a set of event arguments derived from EventArgs, and passed to the FireEventHandler when an event is raised by calling ActivateFireAlarm.

Note:
To run this example, see Building Examples That Use a Demo Method and a TextBlock Control.
