Represents the base class for classes that contain event data, and provides a value to use for events that do not include event data.

Examples
The following example shows a custom event data class named ThresholdReachedEventArgs that derives from the EventArgs class. An instance of the event data class is passed to the event handler for the ThresholdReached event.
using namespace System;
public ref class ThresholdReachedEventArgs : public EventArgs
{
public:
property int Threshold;
property DateTime TimeReached;
};
public ref class Counter
{
private:
int threshold;
int total;
public:
Counter() {};
Counter(int passedThreshold)
{
threshold = passedThreshold;
}
void Add(int x)
{
total += x;
if (total >= threshold) {
ThresholdReachedEventArgs^ args = gcnew ThresholdReachedEventArgs();
args->Threshold = threshold;
args->TimeReached = DateTime::Now;
OnThresholdReached(args);
}
}
event EventHandler<ThresholdReachedEventArgs^>^ ThresholdReached;
protected:
virtual void OnThresholdReached(ThresholdReachedEventArgs^ e)
{
ThresholdReached(this, e);
}
};
public ref class SampleHandler
{
public:
static void c_ThresholdReached(Object^ sender, ThresholdReachedEventArgs^ e)
{
Console::WriteLine("The threshold of {0} was reached at {1}.",
e->Threshold, e->TimeReached);
Environment::Exit(0);
}
};
void main()
{
Counter^ c = gcnew Counter((gcnew Random())->Next(10));
c->ThresholdReached += gcnew EventHandler<ThresholdReachedEventArgs^>(SampleHandler::c_ThresholdReached);
Console::WriteLine("press 'a' key to increase total");
while (Console::ReadKey(true).KeyChar == 'a') {
Console::WriteLine("adding one");
c->Add(1);
}
}

Remarks
This class serves as the base class for all classes that represent event data. For example, the System.AssemblyLoadEventArgs class derives from EventArgs and is used to hold the data for assembly load events. To create a custom event data class, create a class that derives from the EventArgs class and provide the properties to store the necessary data. The name of your custom event data class should end with EventArgs.
To pass an object that does not contain any data, use the Empty field.
For more information about events, see the Handling and Raising Events article.
Constructors
| EventArgs() |
Initializes a new instance of the EventArgs class. |
Fields
| Empty |
Provides a value to use with events that do not have event data. |
Methods
| Equals(Object) |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
| GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
| MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
| ToString() |
Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
