C# dynamically add event handler

Question

Hi i have a simple question. here is my code:

        XmlDocument xmlData = new XmlDocument();
        xmlData.Load(\"xml.xml\");

        /* Load announceme         


        

Answer 1

You could use the Tag property of the ToolStripMenuItem:

item.Tag = Announcements[i].LastChild.InnerText;

public void item_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var menu = sender as ToolStripMenuItem;
    if (menu!= null)
        MessageBox.Show(menu.Tag);
}

Or you could use a lambda, which will capture the variable:

string data = Announcements[i].LastChild.InnerText;
item.Click += (s, e) => { MessageBox.Show(data); };
