As of C# 6, the answer to this question is:

SomeEvent?.Invoke(this, e);

Answer 1

I see a lot of people going toward the extension method of doing this ...

public static class Extensions   
{   
  public static void Raise(this EventHandler handler, 
    object sender, T args) where T : EventArgs   
  {   
    if (handler != null) handler(sender, args);   
  }   
}

That gives you nicer syntax to raise the event ...

MyEvent.Raise( this, new MyEventArgs() );

And also does away with the local copy since it is captured at method call time.
