Why can I check some event handlers for null, some not?
- by Inno
Hi,
I have a ugly piece of code that adds event handlers. The problem is, if the code is called multiple times, the event handlers are called multiple times.
To solve the problem, I remove the event handler first and then add it.
Now I've seen the following behaviour:
Some event handlers can be checked like:
if (object.event == null) {
//
// Code
//
}
others of the form
if (object.object.event == null) {
//
// Code
//
}
I get a message like 'object.object.event' may only occur left of -= or +=.
(Since I'm using a german version of visual studio, I don't know the correct translation to english).
I have no idea why the behaviour looks this inconsequent so I would be grateful for some information on this.
To be more specific: It's user control.
if (myControl.Event == null) {
//
// works
//
}
if (myControl.TreeView.NodeMouseClick == null) {
//
// doesn't work
//
}
