如何：在派生类中引发基类事件（C# 编程指南）
以下简单示例演示了在基类中声明可从派生类引发的事件的标准方法。 此模式广泛应用于 .NET Framework 类库中的 Windows 窗体类。
在创建可用作其他类的基类的类时，应考虑如下事实：事件是特殊类型的委托，只可以从声明它们的类中调用。 派生类无法直接调用基类中声明的事件。 尽管有时需要事件仅由基类引发，但在大多数情形下，应该允许派生类调用基类事件。 为此，您可以在包含该事件的基类中创建一个受保护的调用方法。 通过调用或重写此调用方法，派生类便可以间接调用该事件。
提示
不要在基类中声明虚拟事件，也不要在派生类中重写这些事件。 在 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 中 C# 编译器无法正确处理这些事件，并且无法预知派生事件的订户是否真正订阅了基类事件。

// we do not need to declare a separate delegate type.

public abstract void Draw();
//The event-invoking method that derived classes can override.

{
// Make a temporary copy of the event to avoid possibility of
// a race condition if the last subscriber unsubscribes
// immediately after the null check and before the event is raised.
