'signature': incompatible signature for event

An event was declared incorrectly. For more information, see __event.

C3721 is only reachable using /clr:oldSyntax.

Example

The following sample generates C3721.

// C3721.cpp
// compile with: /clr:oldSyntax /c
using namespace System;

public __delegate void MyDel();

public __gc class X {
   __event void add_E1();      // C3721
   // try the following line instead
   // __event void add_E1(MyDel * p);

   __event void remove_E1();   // C3721
   // __event void remove_E1(MyDel * p);
   // try the following line instead

   __event void raise_E1();
};
