vb.net to c# eventhandler conversion help Please

[c#2006user]

Hi everyone, i have a vb.net program ive converted most of the code but

i know events dont translate well, the original vb.net code uses
withevents and .handles and i can't get the events in c# to work 100%

they seem to hook up ok but when the eventhandler is called from the
method its null and fails.
or maybe im reading it wrong?
public abstract class Page : IDisposable
{
protected ListControl mainList;
public virtual void DisplayPage(ref frmMain myForm)
{
this.mainList.L eaveControl += new
dmControls.List Control.LeaveCo ntrolEventHandl er(mainList_Lea veControl);

this.mainList.S elected += new
dmControls.List Control.Selecte dEventHandler(m ainList_Selecte d);
this.mainList.S electionChanged += new
dmControls.List Control.Selecti onChangedEventH andler(mainList _SelectionChang **ed);


}
protected delegate void
MainListLeaveCo ntrolEventHandl er(dmControls.D irection direction);
private MainListLeaveCo ntrolEventHandl er MainListLeaveCo ntrolEvent;
protected event MainListLeaveCo ntrolEventHandl er MainListLeaveCo ntrol
{
add { MainListLeaveCo ntrolEvent =
(MainListLeaveC ontrolEventHand ler)System.Dele gate.Combine(Ma inListLeaveCont **rolEvent,
value); }
remove { MainListLeaveCo ntrolEvent =
(MainListLeaveC ontrolEventHand ler)System.Dele gate.Remove(Mai nListLeaveContr **olEvent,

value); }

}
protected delegate void MainListSelecte dEventHandler(s tring sSelected,
object Data);
protected MainListSelecte dEventHandler MainListSelecte dEvent;
protected event MainListSelecte dEventHandler MainListSelecte d
{
add { MainListSelecte dEvent =
(MainListSelect edEventHandler) System.Delegate .Combine(MainLi stSelectedEvent **,
value); }
remove { MainListSelecte dEvent =
(MainListSelect edEventHandler) System.Delegate .Remove(MainLis tSelectedEvent,

value); }

}
protected delegate void MainListSelecti onChangedEventH andler(string
sSelected, object Item);
private MainListSelecti onChangedEventH andler
MainListSelecti onChangedEvent;
protected event MainListSelecti onChangedEventH andler
MainListSelecti onChanged
{
add { MainListSelecti onChangedEvent =
(MainListSelect ionChangedEvent Handler)System. Delegate.Combin e(MainListSelec **tionChangedEv ent,
value); }
remove { MainListSelecti onChangedEvent =
(MainListSelect ionChangedEvent Handler)System. Delegate.Remove (MainListSelect **ionChangedEve nt,

value); }

}
private void mainList_LeaveC ontrol(Directio n direction)
{
............... ...........
}
private void mainList_Select ed(string sSelected, object Data)
{
if (MainListSelect edEvent != null)
MainListSelecte dEvent(sSelecte d, Data);
}
}
DisplayPage is then overridden and called from different type of pages
that inherit from page.

its the MainListSelecte dEvent thats null when i try and call it.

any help really appreciated!
thanks.
