Microsoft Visual Studio and C#: How to Visually Add Events to Controls?

Question

How would one go about adding an event handler to a control in a form in Microsoft Visual Studio (2008) with C#?

I can do it manually, but opening the Designer.cs fil

Answer 1

In the designer, click the control of interest.

In the properties window (hit F4 to bring it up), there should be a little lightning bolt icon. Clicking the icon takes you to the list of available events for that control. Double-clicking the event name will wire up a stub handler and take you to the code-behind for it.

Edit: the astute reader will see that the posted screenshot is for a web app (whups), but it's the exact same thing for a winforms app.

Answer 2

All you have to do is to have the form/control open in designer view, have the control in question in focus/selected, open up the properties view and flick over to the events tab. Double click on the event that you're interested in handling.
