Methods

	Name	Description
	AddEventHandler	When overridden in a derived class, requests that a specified method be declared as handling a specified event.
	AllowClassNameForMethodName	When overridden in a derived class, determines whether a class name can be used in creating a unique method name in a language.
	AppendStatements	Appends the specified collection of CodeStatement objects to the specified event handler.
	CreateMethod	When overridden in a derived class, creates a method that handles an event.
	CreateUniqueMethodName	When overridden in a derived class, returns a unique method name for an event handler.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetCompatibleMethods	When overridden in a derived class, returns the names of methods that are compatible with a specified event.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetMethodHandlers	When overridden in a derived class, returns a list of methods that handle a specified event.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsExistingMethodName	When overridden in a derived class, determines whether a method name that handles a specified event already exists.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnEventHandlerGenerated	Raises the EventHandlerGenerated event.
	RemoveHandle	When overridden in a derived class, requests that a specific method stop handling a specific event by removing it from a Handles clause.
	RemoveHandlesForName	Removes the event handlers for the specified element.
	RemoveMethod	When overridden in a derived class, requests that a specific method stop handling a specific event by removing it from an event handling class.
	SetClassName	When overridden in a derived class, identifies the methods that the binding service is referring to as belonging to the specified class.
	ShowMethod	When overridden in a derived class, attempts to display the specified method to the user.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ValidateMethodName	When overridden in a derived class, determines whether a method name is a valid method name and raises an exception if it is not.

Events

	Name	Description
	EventHandlerGenerated	Occurs when a method is associated with a ModelEvent as a result of a call to the AddEventHandler method.

Remarks

There are two ways to associate events with event handlers in Visual Studio. The first is by using the Handles keyword, and the second is by using the AddHandler and RemoveHandler methods. In C#, using += and -= with an EventHandler corresponds to AddHandler and RemoveHandler. Both ways can be used in Visual Basic. Only the second way can be used in C#. For more information, see the following topics:

You can use the EventBindingService class to extend this behavior.
