Hello,

in a German programming forum we currently have a discussion about events and what you (grammatically) do with them.

The MSDN talks about "Event Raising" and "to raise an event". Thus, this seems to be one possibility.

Are there any other synonyms? What about "to trigger an event" and "to fire an event"?
A Google search will bring results for all of the three possibilities. This, however, does not mean that they are correct, too, of course. Are they?

Are there any (stylistic, ...) differences or are they used in different contexts?

Many thanks in advance for ending a heated debate :-)
