Removing event handlers

Question

Is this:

Button.Click -= new EventHandler(Button_Click);

the same as this:

Button.Click -= Button_Click;

Answer 1

It is the same. The second is merely syntactic sugar for the first, and equality comparison is overloaded appropriately for delegate types:

Two delegates of the same type with the same targets, methods, and invocation lists are considered equal.

Answer 2

The end result is the same. The compiler is inferring the type of delegate automatically and as a result the new operator is not required to create it.
