Events are just a representation of a collection of delegates. You can, if
you want, have a collection of delegates and call them yourself or you can
use the "+=" operator and add delegates to Events. They both achieve the
same thing.

Not quite. Events are more limiting to the outside world than
delegates. You can expose an event so that other classes can add and
remove handlers, but not fire the event themselves *or* remove all the
handlers by simply setting the event to null.
Also, an event can handle its add/remove accessors however it wishes
to. You needn't necessarily have a separate field for each event, for
instance.

Suresh,
The way I understand it Events are to Delegate fields that Properties are to
other fields.
The event encapsulates & protects the underlying delegate value.
Chris Sells' book "Windows Forms Programming in C#" from Addison Wesley has
a chapter explaining the relationship. The story is also available on Code

Hope this helps

Here is my problem:

I use the following syntax to have events inherited from base to child classes which works nicely (virtual and override keyword on events).

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'm studying a book on VB.net Win apps, and I'm reading a section on

Here I mean "User" in the Programmer or Javascript sense. I merely wish to
