This blog is about how I do it.
I just ran into a VERY annoying bug in VS2005. Say I have a generic delegate - CompletionCallback(T message) where T : IMessage; and an object which exposes an event of that type, let's say Envelope where T : IMessage. If I have instantiated a specific envelope like this: Envelope env = new Envelope(); then when I type in "env.Completed += " the code that VS generates is "new CompletionCallback(Form1_Completed)". This obviously doesn't compile. If the compiler can do type inference to find out which generic method to call, why can't the code generator generate the proper code?...
