Can using lambdas as event handlers cause a memory leak?

Question

Say we have the following method:

private MyObject foo = new MyObject();

// and later in the class

public void PotentialMemoryLeaker(){
  int firedCount =          


        

Answer 1

You wont just leak memory, you will also get your lambda called multiple times. Each call of 'PotentialMemoryLeaker' will add another copy of the lambda to the event list, and every copy will be called when 'AnEvent' is fired.
