Private field captured in anonymous delegate

Question

class A
{
   public event EventHandler AEvent;
}
class B
{
   private A _foo;
   private int _bar;

   public void AttachToAEvent()
   {
      _foo.AEvent += delegate()
         


        

Answer 1

If you add an anonymous method to an event and want to deference it, you will have to set the event to null or store your delegate in a list so you can later "-=" it from your event.

But yes, you can get a "memory leak" from objects referenced in a delegate that is attached to an event.
