Raising C# events with an extension method - is it bad?

Question

We\'re all familiar with the horror that is C# event declaration. To ensure thread-safety, the standard is to write something like this:

public event EventH         


        

Answer 1

Less code, more readable. Me like.

If you're not interested in performance you can declare your event like this to avoid the null check:

public event EventHandler SomethingHappened = delegate{};
