.NET Framework Class Library

EventHandlerList Class

Provides a simple list of delegates. This class cannot be inherited.

Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, SharedState := True)> _
Public NotInheritable Class EventHandlerList _
    Implements IDisposable

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As EventHandlerList

[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, SharedState = true)]
public sealed class EventHandlerList : IDisposable

Visual C++

[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, SharedState = true)]
public ref class EventHandlerList sealed : IDisposable

JScript

public final class EventHandlerList implements IDisposable

Remarks

Note:
The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: SharedState. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes.

The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser).

This class uses a linear search algorithm to find entries in the list of delegates. A linear search algorithm is inefficient when working with a large number of entries. Therefore, when you have a large list, finding entries is slow.
