Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
System events are things such as shutdown notifications and changes to user preferences.
When a system event is raised calls back the corresponding delegate from a different thread. Therefore, you should make the call thread-safe.
If you need to call a system event that is not exposed as a member of this class, you can use the InvokeOnEventsThread method.
Note Do not perform time-consuming processing in a system event notification because it might prevent other applications from functioning.
