Custom Control Events in C#
- by pm_2
I'm trying to create a custom control and need to raise an event from it. The idea is to raise an event at the end of the click event (OnAfterClick). I found one or two tutorials on doing this, but am clearly missing a step somewhere; I have the following.
In the control:
public class AfterClickEventArgs : EventArgs
{
...
}
public partial class MyButton : CommandButton
{
public delegate void AfterClickEvnt(object sender, AfterClickEventArgs e);
public event AfterClickUpdatedEvnt AfterClick;
}
protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e)
{
...
Processing here
...
AfterClickEventArgs myArgs = new AfterClickEventArgs();
AfterClick(this, newArgs);
}
In the program using the control:
In InitializeComponent():
this.MyButton.AfterClick += new System.EventHandler(this.cmdMyButton_Click);
This line is giving me a compile error (cmdMyButton_Click does exist). It tells me:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.EventHandler' to 'Namespace.MyButton.AfterClick'
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing, or misunderstanding about this, please?
