Directly no, in large part because you cannot simply set the event to null.
Indirectly, you could make the actual event private and create a property
around it that tracks all of the delegates being added/subtracted to it.
Take the following:
ArrayList delegates = new ArrayList();
private event EventHandler MyRealEvent;
public event EventHandler MyEvent
{
add
{
MyRealEvent += value;
delegates.Add(value);
}
remove
{
MyRealEvent -= value;
delegates.Remove(value);
}
}
public void RemoveAllEvents()
{
foreach(EventHandler eh in delegates)
{
MyRealEvent -= eh;
}
delegates.Clear();
}
In this code, we create a wrapper around MyRealEvent (which is what you
would actually trigger internally), so that anytime something is
added/subtracted to it, a list of those EventHandlers is updated accordingly.
When you finally need to clear out all of the events, simply call
RemoveAllEvents() (poorly named I know) which iterates through the list of
EventHandlers and removes each in turn from the real event.

Hi,
Is there a way to remove all event handlers for a control's event? Say, i have a button and i want
to remove all button.Click events for it - i don't know how many of them was hooked to the event and
what are the functions hooked, but i need to make sure that i unwired all of them at once.
I could unwire event handlers if i knew the functions:
button.Click += new EventHandler(OnMyBtnClick); // Wire event handler
....
button.Click -= new EventHandler(OnMyBtnClick); // Unwire event handler
But again, i don't know which/how many event handlers are wired to the event.
Any ideas/comments would be highly appreciated!
Thank you
