Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnItemCommand(RepeaterCommandEventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnItemCommand(RepeaterCommandEventArgs) method.
