How to convert delegate to identical delegate?

Question

There are two descriptions of the delegate: first, in a third-party assembly:

public delegate void ClickMenuItem (object sender, EventArgs e)

s

Answer 1

Fortunately, it's simple. You can just write:

ClickMenuItem clickMenuItem = ...; // Wherever you get this from
EventHandler handler = new EventHandler(clickMenuItem);

And in reverse:

EventHandler handler = ...;
ClickMenuItem clickMenuItem = new ClickMenuItem(handler);

This will even work in C# 1.0. Note that if you then change the value of the original variable, that change won't be reflected in the "converted" one. For example:

ClickMenuItem click = new ClickMenuItem(SomeMethod);
EventHandler handler = new EventHandler(click);
click = null;

handler(this, EventArgs.Empty); // This will still call SomeMethod
