How to work with delegates and event handler for user control

I have created a user control that contains a button. I am using this control on my winform which will be loaded at run time after fetching data from database.

Now I need to remove a row from a d开发者_开发技巧atatable on the Click event of that button.

The problem is that how do I capture that event in my form. Currently it goes in that user control's btn click event defination.

You can create your own delegate event by doing the following within your user control:

public event UserControlClickHandler InnerButtonClick;
public delegate void UserControlClickHandler (object sender, EventArgs e);

You call the event from your handler using the following:

protected void YourButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (this.InnerButtonClick != null)
   {
      this.InnerButtonClick(sender, e);
   }
}

Then you can hook into the event using

UserControl.InnerButtonClick+= // Etc.

It's not necessary to declare a new delegate. In your user control:

public class MyControl : UserControl
{
  public event EventHandler InnerButtonClick;
  public MyControl()
  {
    InitializeComponent();
    innerButton.Click += new EventHandler(innerButton_Click);
  }
  private void innerButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    if (InnerButtonClick != null)
    {
      InnerButtonClick(this, e); // or possibly InnerButtonClick(innerButton, e); depending on what you want the sender to be
    }
  }
}

Just modernizing ChéDon's answer, here is how you can do it in 2018:

public class MyControl : UserControl
{
  public event EventHandler InnerButtonClick;

  public MyControl()
  {
    InitializeComponent();
    innerButton.Click += innerButton_Click;
  }

  private void innerButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      InnerButtonClick?.Invoke(this, e);
      //or
      InnerButtonClick?.Invoke(innerButton, e); 
      //depending on what you want the sender to be
  }
}
