WPF c# Subscribe/Publish events mechanism using reflection - right or wrong?

Question

I want to achieve a simple Subscribe/Publish mechanism within a WPF application so i can subscribe to events from different places in the application specifying the event type and handler method, and then when publishing the event, my mechanism will call all the subscribed methods on the subscribers. I cannot use the RoutedEvent as I want to raise events freely without being forced to the visual tree.

I am able to achieve the above using c# reflection. But as I am pretty new to c# and WPF(coming from Java), I want to be sure that this is the preferred way.

Is It ??

Many Thanks,

It looks like you want the "Event Aggregator" pattern from the Prism framework. Surely you can implement it by yourself, although I don't see why you might need reflection for it.
