Writing event handlers in C#
Coming from VB/VB.NET, I appreciate C#'s terseness when it comes to event
handler signatures but how do you look them up?
In the code window, the only object shown in the object list is my form. I
find myself having to refer to the help in order to determine the correct
signature. Once I've got that done, I then either have to modify the
wizard-generated code to attach the handler or use the Properties window to
associate my handler with an event.
Is there an easier way?

Huh? VB.Net has the same event signatures as C#.
Anyways, you should be able to use the property window to generate the event
code. If I remember correctly, you just have to double-click on the event
name.

Re: Writing event handlers in C#
C#:
private void DragDropHandler(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
VB.NET:
Private Sub DragDropHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs)
The extra specifiers add up. Not to mention the rest of the language is also
quite terse. I love VB but all that verbosity is starting to get to me. It's
amazing how similar the syntax is. Casting is a whole lot easier, too. I may
have to start doing some serious digging into C#.
In any event, thanks for the double-click thing. That certainly is handy.

That depends on how you measure the length of the line. If you count tokens
instead of characters, VB is often shorter than C#. Especially when you can
take advantage of special modifiers like Handles, which can eliminate many
lines of code.

I do not like the casting in either language, but that is another battle.

That's certainly not the case in the post you replied to. What's up with
you anyway? If you don't like c# that's fine, don't use it, but then I
don't like vb.net so I guess that makes us even.

Hey?

If you count semicolons only, you'll find that VB lines are always shorter
than C# lines. But what does that prove?

Is there an IDE shortcut for getting the signature of methods you want to
override?

It proves that C# uses to many semi-colons. Seriously though, I count line
length by tokens instead of characters because that is how I think.
When most people see "equals", they see a single word. They do not think of
it as a series of letters to be considered individually. The same goes for C
programmers, who see "==" as the equality operator instead of two equal
signs in a row. The same goes for VB keywords. When I see "Then" or "Loop",
I see it the same way you see "{" or "}".

Ooops, sorry about that "djdjdj dkskdsk" nonsense.

I wish I could tell you, but I just lost both of my .Net machines. I cannot
play with it again until it is released (so I can put it on my production
machine) or my boss is done with my spares.

Whatever, so use vb.net. I really don't think anyone cares.
