    copied!<p>Hey guys I've been using c# and events alot lately but I'm just starting to create my own events and use them. I'm a little confused on why to use the event keyword, I got the same result by only using delegates. </p> <pre><code>public partial class Form1 : Form { ServerConnection connection = new ServerConnection(); public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); connection.ref = new del(MethOne); connection.ref += new del(MethTwo); } public void MethOne(object message) { MessageBox.Show((string)message); } public void MethTwo(object message) { MessageBox.Show((string)message); } } public delegate void del(string message); public class ServerConnection { private TcpListener tcpListener; public del ref; private List&lt;NetworkStream&gt; clientList = new List&lt;NetworkStream&gt;(); public ServerConnection() { this.tcpListener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 3000); ThreadStart startListening = new ThreadStart(ListenForClients); Thread startThread = new Thread(startListening); startThread.Start(); } public void ListenForClients() { tcpListener.Start(); ParameterizedThreadStart handleClient = new ParameterizedThreadStart(HandleClient); while (true) { TcpClient newClient = tcpListener.AcceptTcpClient(); Thread handleClientThread = new Thread(handleClient); handleClientThread.Start(newClient); } } public void HandleClient(object newClient) { NetworkStream clientStream = ((TcpClient)newClient).GetStream(); clientList.Add(clientStream); BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter(); string message; while (true) { message = (string)formatter.Deserialize(clientStream); ref((string)message); } } </code></pre>
