I have a similiar requirement and have not found a good solution. I
have submitted a request to Dino Dino Dino Esposito of MSDN. If I get
something back, I will post it here.

If there was a spy utility, it would have to hook into the CLR itself
(and probablys low down your app in the process, as it would use the
debugging hooks, most likely) to find when events are fired. AFAIK, there
isn't any such thing.
There might be solutions which work by requiring you to place code in
the event firing sites, but I doublt that is what you are looking for.
When calling the Show method on a Form, the Shown event will be fired if
it is the first time the form is shown. The VisibleChanged event can be
fired if the form is hidden as well. The Activate event can also be fired
as well, I believe.

Events are nothing more than Windows Messages posted to the Message Queue of
the owning thread of a Window. If you want to view the messages posted to a
specific application/thread/window, you can use is Spyxx.exe included with
VS2005 (Check Common7\tools).

Well, they *may* be Windows Messages - but not all events will involve
that. It's worth the OP being clear about the different between .NET
events and Windows Messages.

True, I have no idea what he meant with Q #3 , Q #1 needs some
clarification, but #2 makes me think he's after the "Windows" Events.

Possibly - or possibly the events that he might be able to subscribe
to, only some of which will relate to Windows events. It's unfortunate
that "event" is a fairly overloaded word :(

I don't see any Spy*.exe files in my \Common7\* folders; I have VS 2005
Pro; is there another location?

Spyxx.exe should be in Common7\tools if you did install the tools during
VS2005 set-up.

Overloaded is the least I can say, it's sometimes really confusing and
utterly wrong to use "Event", IMO we'll have to wait for the OP to come to
rescue and help us out of this ;-)

Hi!
How can I unregister all the events registered to a control?
I have seen a piece of code in another thread, which gets all the registered
handlers for a specific event.
Let's say I have a CustomTextBox : TextBox, which has quite a lot of
events...
Do I put unregistering code for all the possible events in the Dispose
method? Or is there another way?

Hi
I use the following syntax to have events inherited from base to child classes which works nicely (virtual and override keyword on events). But I am wondering if it is a "supported" way of using events since I never saw it used anywhere in MSDN documentation/samples?! Or it will just break when I upgrade to .NET Framework 2.x in the coming years

public delegate void MyDel()
public class MyBase

I have the following code, which appears to be working. However it doesn't
look right. The part I am wondering about is the logic in
DisconnectEvents(). This logic creates a new delegate and then expects to
find that delegate in the list of event handlers.
What is the proper way of writing this?

Hello!
I am still transitioning from VB.NET to C#. I undertand the basic concepts
of Delegates, more so of Events and somewhat understand AsyncCallback
methods. But I need some clarification on when to use one over another? If
anyone could provide any additional info, your comments, best practices, any
good articles, specific examples, etc.
Thank you

Hello,
I'm studying a book on VB.net Win apps, and I'm reading a section on
events and delegates and raising events.
Is it just me, or is this not just subs dressed up as something else?
I mean, for one, delegates point to subs, so when you call a delegate,
why not just call the sub dierectly and not bother adding the extra
code involved adding the delegate?

Hi,
I am new to C# (with long year experience in C++) and I am a bit confused by
the language construct of events. What is it I can do with events that I
cannot do with delegates? At the moment it seems to me that Microsoft has
developed similar functionality via two keywords. I do understand that an
event offers better encapsulation as the underlying delegate is private, but
is that all ?

Here I mean "User" in the Programmer or Javascript sense. I merely wish to
programmatically trigger an Event. It would be absolutely fantastic if there
was a (Form level?) ONUSEREVENT() and a setEvent() function but, in the
absence of this, is it not possible to use DOM to change an object's
properties resulting in a state-change event?
I have tried with ONCHANGE() and that only seems to work if the
