Declaring an event in an interface

I'm using events to handle asynchronous notification upwards and interfaces
across all class boundaries. I'm not sure of how to declare a delegate and
its associated event through the interface. I need to be able to declare
this information in the interface so that the caller can register for the
event. Am I missing something simple?

TIA

Brad,

You can declare the event in the interface, but C# does not allow you
to declare types in an interface so you'll have to declare the delegate
somewhere else.

public delegate void MyEventHandler( );

public interface IMyInterface
{
event MyEventHandler MyEvent;
}

Hi,

I think you are :)

this is a valid declaration :

public interface A
{
event EventHandler ev;
}

I was surprised and somewhat disappointed by the fact that you cannot declare types in an interface. I discovered this when defining an interface that included events, where the definition of the delegates had to be placed outside the definition of the interface. To me, the delegate definition is an integral part of the interface definition. Also, I could imagine cases where one would like to define enums and structs in interfaces as well (to be...

How does one declare an event within an interface, so that every class which implements that interface must implement that event? I think I just need to specifiy the actual event as I would a function, but what about the delegate? Up to now, all my interfaces have only dealt with properties and functions. Here's basically what I want to do (for example): public interface IFoo

I am accessing my database through an interface, to allow future substitution of the physical datastore - hence I would like to declare in my Interface that my DAL-objects implementing the interface and accessing the datastore MUST pass in a UserToken in the constructor of the object. Is this not possible? Am I forced to add the UserToken as a property on the object instead? /Ole

I have a class, which implements an interface. Let's say, that the interface looks something like Public Interface IEventSinks Sub ValueChanged(sender As Object, e As ValueChangedEventArgs) Sub StateUpdated(sender As Object, e As StateUpdatedEventArgs) End Interface In practice, the interface contains many more event handlers like this, but you get the picture.

I have an abstract class that about a dozen sub-classes inherit from. I want to enforce that each sub-class shadows an event in the abstract class, but can't quite figure out how to do this. Basically, all of the inherited classes deal with data in some way or another. I need to make sure that when the data is changed on any of those classes, they raise an event called "DataChanged", and have that enforced in some way from the abstract...

I don't think this should be this complicated, but I can't figure it out. I've worked with C# for several years now, but in a web environment, not with windows form. I have a form with a query button on it. If the query returns multiple results, a new window is opened with a grid containing the results. When the user double clicks on the desired row in the grid, I want the first form to populate with the correct data. I don't know how...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
