Generated Code In Header Files

[Gaz]

When I add say, a click event handler for a button on a form, code gets
generated in the header file within the declaration of the form class
itself. If I am not mistaken this makes the code inlined which is not what
I want. Why handler code not generated in the cpp file?

Thanks.

Because that's the way the designers work.

Don't worry about the code being inlined or not - on .NET (almost) all the
inlining is left up to the JIT compiler anyway, so whether the code is
defined inline in the header file or out of line in the CPP file is of
little consequence - it's just not "The C++ Way".
