Is there a way to force the consumer of my object to handle events
that I've fired off? I don't care how they handle the event, just that
they do. I think in c# there is a way but not sure about vb.net.

AddHandler allows you to assign event handlers to functions.

Thanks for the response, But what I'm after is not how to handle an
event but ensuring that the consumer is in fact handling my events. So
in my object, before firing off the event, I want to check and see if
in fact the consumer has in fact added an event handler.

The best way to do this is with a plug-in system.
Create an interface and insure any classes that need to listen to your
events implement the interface.
Your loader class will bind the events to the proper event handlers.
This will ensure:
1. All required handlers are implemented
2. Your loader class attaches all the events to the proper handlers

The problem with that is that there isn't a way to force the consumer
to implement the interface (is there?), and also this would mean the
handlers would have to be public.
Would it be possible to pass a delegate in the class's constructor and
map it that way?
Thanks,
Seth Rowe
Seth I think your approach is more friendly. This will require the
consumer to pass itself. From that I can check to see if they are
handling the event. Thanks for everyones help.
Take a look at custom events--you can use them to take control of
the process. In your code for the RaiseEvent method you could
check if there are any subscribers before actually firing the
event. For example:
Private _Test As EventHandler
Public Custom Event Test As EventHandler
AddHandler(ByVa l value As EventHandler)
_Test = DirectCast([Delegate].Combine(_Test, value), EventHandler)
End AddHandler
RemoveHandler(B yVal value As EventHandler)
_Test = DirectCast([Delegate].Remove(_Test, value), EventHandler)
End RemoveHandler
RaiseEvent(ByVa l sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s)
If _Test IsNot Nothing Then
_Test.Invoke(se nder, e)
End If
End RaiseEvent
End Event

Here is an example of what I interpreted to be Seth's approach and
which I am going to use.
Public Class Car
Public Delegate Sub CarAboutToExplo de(ByVal
sender As Car, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Public Sub New(byval evnt as CarAboutToExplo de)
'... do some stuff
'... oops forgot to put oil in engine
evnt.Invoke(me, eventargs.Empty )
end Sub
Public Sub ShutDown()
'shut down engine
End Sub
end Class
Public Class ConsumerOfCar
Public Sub SomeFunction()
dim del as new Car.CarAboutToE xplode(addresso f OnCarAboutToExp lode)
dim car as new Car(del)
end Sub
Private Sub OnCarAboutToExp lode(byval sender as car, bybal e as
eventargs)
sender.ShutDown ()
End Sub
End Class
John, I like your approach as well. Thank you for the example. I may
consider that approach as well. It's very clear.

I'd suggest a custom Event Arguments class to which you add a Handled
property. Pass this along with your Event and, if the Handled property
comes back False ...
Public Class CustomEventArgs
Inherits EventArgs
Friend Sub New()
End Sub
Public Property Handled() as Boolean
Get
Return m_bHandled
End Get
Set( Value as Boolean )
m_bHandled = Value
End Set
End Property
Private m_bHandled = False
End Class
Public Event SomeEvent( _
ByVal sender As Object _
, ByVal e As CustomEventArgs _
)
Protected Sub OnSomeEvent()
Dim e as New CustomEventArgs
RaiseEvent SomeEvent( Me, e )
If e.Handled = False Then
Throw New YouDidntHandleM yEventException ( ...
End If
End Sub

An event manager using publish/subscribe, and weakrefs.
Any function can publish any event without registering it first, and
any

yet.
The event manager uses weakrefs, so lists of listeners won't stop them
