Property missing error when I add a new static event on Silverlight

Question

HI there,

I have added a static event with the following code:

public class TypeChangedEventArgs : EventArgs
{
     public Types TypeSelected { get; set; }
}

public delegate void TypeChangedHandler(TypeChangedEventArgs eventArgs);

public static event TypeChangedHandler TypeChanged;

And I do get an event handler for TypeChanged, then I typed some code like MessageBox.Show("Hello World") there and tried to compile, then I get the following error:

The property "TypeChanged" does not exists on the type "Selector" in the XML namespace 'clr-namespace:Test'

I am not sure what's missing, can someone help me?

Thanks

Answer 1

You haven't shown how you're trying to reference the TypeChanged property. Could you show either the XML you're using or the C# code?

Are you perhaps trying to effectively subscribe to the event via an instance of Selector?

Answer 2

The problem is that your event is static - remove that keyword and it compiles fine.
