Events

Question

Thank You Suman for your reply i have worked on it and got it. I have got an application in unmanaged language which i am trying to convert it into C# manually. That application has got few windows with few controls. i am creating a window for window textbox for textbox but my problem is the events associated with unmanaged applications controls are different from C# controls and there is code in that events sometimes business code. How should i manage these events? Can you help me please? Or should i go for the custom controls if so will this be of advantage to me? B'coz i dont know the advantages of using custom controls. Any any suggestion is appreciated

Custom controls (Server controls) are always the way to go for anything that you want to be reusable. The benefits are that they are easy to re-implement in other sites and very easy for the non-programming VS.NET user--such as a graphic designer--to comprehend. Events are a little complicated but only if you're trying to put a lot of functionality into your code. WROX press has a book (out of print) called C# Class Design that I highly recommend. There is a really good section on events. When it comes to events you have 2 parts: the event and the delegate. The event starts the process; the delegate points the event down the right path to complete an action. If you want some detail on how to use events in your web controls we should probably discuss some of that outside of the forum. If you want simple examples of events I'm sure I can find one or 2 if not I believe the founder of c-sharp corner can point you to an exact article already written about events. I've learned a lot from this site which is why I post so much to help people here ( ;} 4divine).
