EventHandlerList Class

Provides a simple list of delegates. This class cannot be inherited.

Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in system.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public NotInheritable Class EventHandlerList
    Implements IDisposable

public sealed class EventHandlerList : IDisposable

C++

public ref class EventHandlerList sealed : IDisposable

Not applicable.

Remarks

This class uses a linear search algorithm to find entries in the list of delegates. A linear search algorithm is inefficient when working with a large number of entries. Therefore, when you have a large list, finding entries is slow.

Note:
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this class has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.
