Delegates and Events or Command Patter

[Reg]

Hello, I have a situation where a text based protocol comes to my component
to be handled.

Protocol has differnt commands and they have different arguments.

The question is that which is in C# world's way to handle different command
a J2EE style Cpmmand Pattern Design Pattern or C#'s Events and Delegates?

Any opinions of that? If Events and Delegates are proper how should I deal
with differents of commands into Delegates and Events? Also return values
may vary depending on command.

thanks.

I would consider delegates and events the DotNet "built in" implementation
of the Observer Pattern, not the Command Pattern.

check out dofactory.com and their "free design patterns" section as well,
for C# specific code.
