The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: Synchronization. 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. |
EventDescriptorCollection is read-only; it does not implement methods that add or remove events. You must inherit from this class to implement these methods.
Using the properties available in the EventDescriptorCollection class, you can query the collection about its contents. Use the Count property to determine the number of elements in the collection. Use the Item property to get a specific property by index number or by name.
You can also use the Find method to get a description of the event with the specified name from the collection.
The following code example prints all the events on a button in a text box. It requires that button1 and textBox1 have been instantiated on a form.
Private Sub MyEventCollection() ' Creates a new collection and assigns it the events for button1. Dim events As EventDescriptorCollection = TypeDescriptor.GetEvents(button1) ' Displays each event in the collection in a text box. Dim myEvent As EventDescriptor For Each myEvent In events textBox1.Text &= myEvent.Name & ControlChars.Cr Next myEvent End Sub 'MyEventCollection
