Events of a non-delegate type

Question

I\'ve implemented a class that looks like this interface:

[ImmutableObject(true)]
public interface ICustomEvent
{
    void Invoke(object sender, EventArgs e)         


        

Answer 1

Why don't you try to use the "+=" and the "-=" operators on your CustomEvent class? You cannot override the "+=" and the "-=" operators directly, but they are evaluated by "+" and "-" operator.

Assignment operators cannot be overloaded, but +=, for example, is evaluated using +, which can be overloaded.

So instead of having event-like add and remove methods, you can have a field or a property that can be combined by += and -= operators. Besides it encapsulates the combination logic inside your own CustomEvent class.
