Pass this field to events instead of an new instance of EventArgs

You should never need to create an instance of the EventArgs class. If you have an event that only needs to take an EventArgs, simply pass this field:

C#:

public class Button
{
    public event EventHandler Click;
 
    protected virtual void OnClick(EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Click != null)
        {
            Click(this, e);
        }
    }
 
    private void RaiseClick()
    {
        OnClick(EventArgs.Empty);
    }
}
