Is there a better way to minimize this C# event repetition?
- by Damien Wildfire
I have a lot of code like this:
public class Microwave {
private EventHandler<EventArgs> _doorClosed;
public event EventHandler<EventArgs> DoorClosed {
add { lock (this) _doorClosed += value; }
remove { lock (this) _doorClosed -= value; }
}
private EventHandler<EventArgs> _lightbulbOn;
public event EventHandler<EventArgs> LightbulbOn {
add { lock (this) _lightbulbOn += value; }
remove { lock (this) _lightbulbOn -= value; }
}
// ...
}
You can see that much of this is boilerplate. In Ruby I'd be able to do something like this:
class Microwave
has_events :door_closed, :lightbulb_on, ...
end
Is there a similar shorter way of removing this boilerplate in C#?
