Attaching Eventhandler with New Handler vs Directly assigning it

Question

What is the actual difference, advantages and disadvantages, of creating a new event handler, vs assigning it directly to the event?

Answer 1

The compiler has enough information available to make the new EventHandler effectively syntactic sugar.

It knows that you are attaching an event handler to an event, as only += and -= are valid at this point, so you don't need tell it what to do.
