Raise event in New possible

In a UserControl's New method if I call a routine that does a RaiseEvent
the event does not seen to get raised.

Am I correct in assuming that events are not raised until after New
completes?
Or am I misinterpreting what I'm seeing?

You are right. To add a handler to an object you must have a reference. You
get the reference from "New TheClass", so before the constructor hasn't
finished you can not add the handler.

One exception is when passing a delegate to the constructor and the
constructor adds it to the Event as an event handler.

Yes, because the event handlers are not added yet at the moment when
raising the event from the ctor.
