Setting an Event handler without doing it manually in the classname.designer.cs file

Question

Is there any way to set an event handler without doing it manually in the classname.designer.cs file other than double clicking the UI element?

Answer 1

If I follow your question correctly, you can just do it in your code-behind like this:

myButton.Click += myHandler;

Or you could use an anonymous delegate:

myButton.Click += delegate
{
    MessageBox.Show("Clicked!");
};

Sure. Use myControl.Event += new EventHandler(SomeHandlerMethodInYourClass) somewhere during initialization, e.g. in the form's constructor.

Answer 3

Click on the lightning bolt icon in the Properties window. Double-click the event you want to implement.
