Beginning Visual C# Exercises - Chapter 12
1. // Here's the general purpose event handler, but there is a problem....
public void GenericEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (e is MessageArrivedEventArgs)
Console.WriteLine("Just received a MessageArrived event from {0}: {1}",
sender.ToString, (e as MessageArrivedEventArgs).Message);
else if (e is ElapsedEventArgs)
Console.WriteLine("Just received an Elapsed event from {0}: {1}",
sender.ToString, (e as ElapsedEventArgs).SignalTime);
}
// The GenericEvent signature won't delegate an ElapsedEvents argument so force it
public void ProcessElapsedEvent(timer sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
GenericEvent(sender, e);
}
