How to reference an event in C#

Question

I have the following class, which has one public event called LengthChanged:

class Dimension
{
    public int Length
    {
        get
        {         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately there isn't really a way of doing this. Events aren't first class citizens in .NET in general - although F# tries to promote them there.

Either pass in the subscribe/unsubscribe delegate or using a string indicating the name of the event. (The latter is often shorter, but obviously less safe at compile-time.)

Those are the approaches which Reactive Extensions takes - if there were a cleaner way of doing it, I'm sure they would be using that :(
