How would it be possible to remove all event handlers of the 'Click' event of a 'Button'?

Question

I have a button control, and I\'d need to remove all the event handlers attached to its Click event.

How would that be possible?

Button button = GetB

I had the null error issue with the code Jamie Dixon posted to take in to account not having a Click event.

private void RemoveClickEvent(Control control)
{
    // chenged "FieldInfo f1 = typeof(Control)" to "var f1 = b.GetType()". By changing to 
    // the type of the  passed in control we can use this for any control with a click event.
    // using var allows for null checking and lowering the chance of exceptions.

    var fi = control.GetType().GetField("EventClick", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    if (fi != null)
    {
        object obj = fi.GetValue(control);
        PropertyInfo pi = control.GetType().GetProperty("Events", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
        EventHandlerList list = (EventHandlerList)pi.GetValue(control, null);
        list.RemoveHandler(obj, list[obj]);
    }

}

Then a small change and it should be for any event.

private void RemoveClickEvent(Control control, string theEvent)
{
    // chenged "FieldInfo f1 = typeof(Control)" to "var f1 = b.GetType()". By changing to 
    // the type of the  passed in control we can use this for any control with a click event.
    // using var allows for null checking and lowering the chance of exceptions.

    var fi = control.GetType().GetField(theEvent, BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    if (fi != null)
    {
        object obj = fi.GetValue(control);
        PropertyInfo pi = control.GetType().GetProperty("Events", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
        EventHandlerList list = (EventHandlerList)pi.GetValue(control, null);
        list.RemoveHandler(obj, list[obj]);
    }

}

I imagine this could be made better but it works for my current need. Hope this is useful for someone.
