Newbie problem with dispose and custom eventargs

[fawkes]

I'm new to c#.

I've developed a generic collection of custom objects that use custom event arguments when raising events.

I've shown the collection in a datagridview on a usercontrol and whenever the usercontrol.dispose method is called I get an exception if there are items in the collection.

The message is


Object of type 'System.EventHandler' cannot be converted to type 'CustomDelegate'.


Anyone offer any advice?

I'm confused. Are the events in your list attached to the custom control? is the list in your custom control?

OK, here's what I've done.

Custom Control with three objects:
DataGridView
BindingNavigator
BindingDataSource

The datasource of the BindingDataSource is the collection.

The items in the collection raise events when property values change using custom event arguments. These events are handled by the collection.

This is all I've done, does this help.

Looking at the stack trace it appears to relate to:

System.ComponentModel.ReflectEventDescriptor.RemoveEventHandler(Object component, Delegate value)

I sorted it out.

Instead of writing my own event arguments I used the event arguments provided under System.ComponentModel and these work fine.
