.NET中的弱事件？

Question

如果对象A侦听来自对象B的事件,则对象B将使对象A保持活动状态.是否存在可以阻止这种情况的弱事件的标准实现？我知道WPF有一些机制,但我正在寻找与WPF无关的东西.我猜测解决方案应该在某处使用弱引用.

Answer 1

来自DidItWith.NET博客的Dustin Campbell检查了几个创建弱事件处理程序的失败尝试,然后继续展示一个有效的,有效的,轻量级的实现:解决弱事件处理程序的问题.

但理想情况下,微软会将这一概念引入语言本身.就像是:

Foo.Clicked += new weak EventHandler(...);

如果您认为此功能对您很重要,请在此处投票.

Answer 2

我重新打包了Dustin Campbell的实现,以便在不使用通用处理程序时为不同的事件类型扩展它.我认为它可能对某些人有用.
