Equivalent in VB.NET ?

[MobileBoy36]

Hello group,

What is the equivalent of this code snippet in C#?

public event EventHandler OnConnect
{
add { lock(syncRoot) { connectedEvent += value; } }
remove { lock(syncRoot) { connectedEvent -= value; } }
}

best regards,
Mobile Boy

First you have to ask yourself if you *really* need custom events. 99% of
the time you don't.

If you really do, then VB2005 supports them so you are out of luck if you
are targeting CF v1.0.

For the syntax read this:

Thanks for your response Daniel...

Do you already now how to achieve the += in VB.NET on the line
connectedEvent += value?

best regards

Look at the site I referenced. It shows an example of that (hint: Combine
and Remove methods of your delegate). I am sure msdn2 has an example too but
here is yet another:
