Hi all,

Is this possible in VB.NET?

/// <summary>
        /// We manually implement delegate management, so instead of
        /// declaring event variable we declare accessor methods
        /// </summary>
        public override event BroadcastedMessageHandler
NewBroadcastedMessage
        {
            add
            {
                PersistentEventsHelper.AddEventSink
(value,c_NewBroadcastedMessageEvent);
            }

            remove
            {
                PersistentEventsHelper.RemoveEventSink
(value,c_NewBroadcastedMessageEvent);
            }
        }

Yes, it's possible in VB 2005 (not in previous version!). Check out 'Custom
Event'.

That's what I thought - couldn't find anything for .NET 1.1.

In the end, rewrote the call as 2 sub (add/remove)... works just as well.
