    <p>I'm hoping to clear some things up with anonymous delegates and lambda expressions being used to create a method for event handlers in C#, for myself at least.</p> <p>Suppose we have an event that adds either an anonymous delegate or a lambda expression (for you lucky crowds that can use newer versions of .NET). </p> <pre><code>SomeClass.SomeEvent += delegate(object o, EventArg e) { /* do something */ }; </code></pre> <p>I have read that people in the past have forgotten about events that still have handlers which prevent the class from being garbage collected. How would one go about removing the added handler without just setting SomeEvent to null within the class. Wouldn't the following be an entirely new handler?</p> <pre><code>SomeClass.SomeEvent -= delegate(object o, EventArg e) { /* do something */ }; </code></pre> <p>I could see storing the anonymous delegate or lambda expression in a variable. But that, to me at least, seems to defeat the entire purpose of being able to simply and succinctly add an event handler.</p> <pre><code>SomeEventDelegate handler = new SomeEventDelegate(delegate(object o, EventArg e) { /* do something */ }); SomeClass.SomeEvent += handler; // ... stuff SomeClass.SomeEvent -= handler; </code></pre> <p>Again, I understand that you could just do...</p> <pre><code>public override Dispose(bool disposing) { _someEvent = null; this.Dispose(); } </code></pre> <p>But I'm more interesting with just removing the dynamically created method from the event. Hopefully someone can shed some light onto this for me. Thanks!</p>

    1. COI had exactly the same question in mind and you managed to express it very clearly.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
