Question about when and when not to raise events (C#)
- by NoPyGod
I am programming an instant messaging library for MSN Messenger, and I have a simple question about raising events.
When logging in, should I be raising UserAdded for each user that is synchronized (already on the contact list), or should the UserAdded event be reserved for when a new user has been added to the contact list via the AddUser method? Should I perhaps use another event, UserDownloaded for when a user is downloaded?
Similarly, when I call logout, should I call UserRemoved?
I hope this makes sense.
Thank you
