.NET EventHandlers - Generic or no?

Question

Every time I start in deep in a C# project, I end up with lots of events that really just need to pass a single item. I stick with the EventHandler/Event

Answer 1

You can find Generic EventHandler on MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/db0etb8x.aspx

I have been using generic EventHandler extensively and was able to prevent so-called "Explosion of Types(Classes)" Project was kept smaller and easier to navigate around.

Coming up with a new intuitive a delegate for non-generic EventHandler delegate is painful and overlap with existing types Appending "*EventHandler" to new delegate name does not help much in my opinion
