委托和事件之间的区别是什么?两者不都持有可以执行的函数的引用吗?


当前回答

用简单的方式定义about event:

事件是对具有两个限制的委托的引用

不能直接调用 不能直接赋值(例如eventObj = delegateMethod)

以上两点是委托的弱点,并在事件中得到解决。完整的代码示例,以显示fiddler的差异在这里https://dotnetfiddle.net/5iR3fB。

在Event和Delegate之间切换注释,以及调用/分配值给Delegate的客户端代码,以了解差异

下面是内联代码。

 /*
This is working program in Visual Studio.  It is not running in fiddler because of infinite loop in code.
This code demonstrates the difference between event and delegate
        Event is an delegate reference with two restrictions for increased protection

            1. Cannot be invoked directly
            2. Cannot assign value to delegate reference directly

Toggle between Event vs Delegate in the code by commenting/un commenting the relevant lines

其他回答

Event声明在委托实例上添加了一层抽象和保护。此保护可防止委托的客户端重置委托及其调用列表,并且仅允许从调用列表中添加或删除目标。

除了语法和操作属性之外,还有语义上的差异。

从概念上讲,委托是函数模板;也就是说,它们表达了一个函数必须遵守的契约,以便被认为是委托的“类型”。

事件代表……嗯,事件。它们的目的是在发生事情时提醒某人,是的,它们遵循委托定义,但它们不是同一件事。

即使它们是完全相同的东西(在语法上和IL代码中),仍然会存在语义差异。一般来说,我更喜欢对两个不同的概念使用两个不同的名称,即使它们以相同的方式实现(这并不意味着我喜欢使用两次相同的代码)。

简单地说,本文的要点是——事件是对委托的封装。

引用自文章:

Suppose events didn't exist as a concept in C#/.NET. How would another class subscribe to an event? Three options: A public delegate variable A delegate variable backed by a property A delegate variable with AddXXXHandler and RemoveXXXHandler methods Option 1 is clearly horrible, for all the normal reasons we abhor public variables. Option 2 is slightly better, but allows subscribers to effectively override each other - it would be all too easy to write someInstance.MyEvent = eventHandler; which would replace any existing event handlers rather than adding a new one. In addition, you still need to write the properties. Option 3 is basically what events give you, but with a guaranteed convention (generated by the compiler and backed by extra flags in the IL) and a "free" implementation if you're happy with the semantics that field-like events give you. Subscribing to and unsubscribing from events is encapsulated without allowing arbitrary access to the list of event handlers, and languages can make things simpler by providing syntax for both declaration and subscription.

Delegate是一个类型安全的函数指针。事件是使用委托的发布者-订阅者设计模式的实现。

An event in .net is a designated combination of an Add method and a Remove method, both of which expect some particular type of delegate. Both C# and vb.net can auto-generate code for the add and remove methods which will define a delegate to hold the event subscriptions, and add/remove the passed in delegagte to/from that subscription delegate. VB.net will also auto-generate code (with the RaiseEvent statement) to invoke the subscription list if and only if it is non-empty; for some reason, C# doesn't generate the latter.

Note that while it is common to manage event subscriptions using a multicast delegate, that is not the only means of doing so. From a public perspective, a would-be event subscriber needs to know how to let an object know it wants to receive events, but it does not need to know what mechanism the publisher will use to raise the events. Note also that while whoever defined the event data structure in .net apparently thought there should be a public means of raising them, neither C# nor vb.net makes use of that feature.
