.NET events special methods (add/remove/raise/other)

Question

I was wondering about the EventInfo.GetRaiseMethod and EventInfo.GetOtherMethods methods. Apparently, the CLR supports 4 kinds of methods associated with events: add, remove

Answer 1

Yes, C# can use the add/remove overloads for registering event handlers. EventInfo is the System.Reflection metadata that is used when parsing a class' signature; the RaiseEvent method in Visual Basic is not necessarily the same method as this one, as reflection creates a way for you to dynamically invoke an event or add an event handler. RaiseEvent is similar to calling the event in C# like a method.

(This is a partial answer, as there are questions in your post I don't know the answer too.)
