I use dynamically created controls all the time. I.E. I create the
control in code then use AddHandler to add the necessary delegates for
processing (like Click, etc).
Does one have to call RemoveHandler after processing is done? In other

each one of the controls I created? Or can I just let .NET handle it
when the form is closed and garbage collection is done?

Cool... So basically, when the form is closed and discard, then the
delegates you 'hooked' are automatically taken care of by the .NET

Had you designated the handlers at design time by adding the 'Handles
objectName.Even tName' at the end of a method, you wouldn't be thinking you
need to detach the handler.
AddHandler is just a programmatic way of attaching the handler instead of a
declarative way.
As long as the objects and the event handler methods are all in the user
control or form, when that user control or form is gone, the object should
be eligible for GC, since all the event handler methods are within its own
definition.

It's safe to make sure there is no possibility to re-execute the

As marina has well explained, I would not be much worried
by your scenario. When the form is disposed, the handler is gone.
There are other situations, where one has to watch not to
add the handler multiple times, which could results in errors
usually not straightforward to debug.
About forms, it depends... if the form is modal (.shodialog)
closing the form will not dispose it. So the handler will
still be there awaiting ...
------
In general, especially if code is not to be distributed to dummies, I
feel
that using delegates instead of events is safer and more confortable
(except for some simple cases)
For instance, it is more difficult that you forget to handle calls if
the
function is not set up a null pointer error will readily occur.
Plus, it is not possible to replicate the handling of a call.
Finally, they are readily available by the intellisense...
But that is matter of taste, I guess ...

But you would attach the handler on a different instance of that form. The
first instance is not affected. When that item needs to be garbage
collected, it should be, since it doesn't have any handlers on external
objects, just on its own.
