Hi,
events can only be declared at the class level. Anywhere else you just
declare variables of the delegate type. Actually, declaring a delegate
instance with or without the event keyword is more or less the same,
except that in the former case, the compiler defines two handy methods
to add (+=) and remove (-=) listeners to and from the delegate. Without
the event keyword you have to manually *Combine* and *Remove* listeners
to/from the delegate variable. The event keyword also make the events
of a component show up in the designer.
Conclusion, you can't declare an array of events, but you can declare an
array of the delegate type.
hope this helps,
Benoit
