Example implementation of weak events using .NET's WeakEventManager

Question

Is there an example implementation of weak events using .NET\'s WeakEventManager?

I\'m trying to implement it by following the \"Notes to Inheritors\" in the documentati

Answer 1

I figured it out on my own following the guidelines in the "Notes for Inheritors" section of the WeakEventManager documentation. Here's a basic implementation of WeakEventManager. The class sourcing the event is named PropertyValue and the event is named Changed.

public class PropertyValueChangedEventManager : WeakEventManager
{
    public static PropertyValueChangedEventManager CurrentManager
    {
        get
        {
            var manager_type = typeof(PropertyValueChangedEventManager);
            var manager = WeakEventManager.GetCurrentManager(manager_type) as PropertyValueChangedEventManager;

            if (manager == null)
            {
                manager = new PropertyValueChangedEventManager();
                WeakEventManager.SetCurrentManager(manager_type, manager);
            }

            return manager;
        }
    }

    public static void AddListener(PropertyValue source, IWeakEventListener listener)
    {
        CurrentManager.ProtectedAddListener(source, listener);
    }

    public static void RemoveListener(PropertyValue source, IWeakEventListener listener)
    {
        CurrentManager.ProtectedRemoveListener(source, listener);
    }

    protected override void StartListening(object source)
    {
        ((PropertyValue)source).Changed += DeliverEvent;
    }

    protected override void StopListening(object source)
    {
        ((PropertyValue)source).Changed -= DeliverEvent;
    }
}
