C#: How to remove a lambda event handler

Answer 1

The C# specification explicitly states (IIRC) that if you have two anonymous functions (anonymous methods or lambda expressions) it may or may not create equal delegates from that code. (Two delegates are equal if they have equal targets and refer to the same methods.)

To be sure, you'd need to remember the delegate instance you used:

EventHandler handler = (s, e) => MessageBox.Show("Woho");

button.Click += handler;
...
button.Click -= handler;

(I can't find the relevant bit of the spec, but I'd be quite surprised to see the C# compiler aggressively try to create equal delegates. It would certainly be unwise to rely on it.)

If you don't want to do that, you'll need to extract a method:

public void ShowWoho(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     MessageBox.Show("Woho");
}

...

button.Click += ShowWoho;
...
button.Click -= ShowWoho;
