Remove Empty Handler

• Jun 07, 2019

Removes an empty event handler along with the event handler assignment.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when the edit cursor or caret is on an empty method that handles an event.

Note

This refactoring is only available in Windows Forms applications.

Example

C#

class TestClass
{
    public TestClass()
    {
        TestButton = new Button();
        TestButton.Click += TestButton_Click;   
    }
    public Button TestButton;
    private void │TestButton_Click(Object Sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
}

VB.NET

Class TestClass
    Public Sub New()
        TestButton = New Button()
    End Sub
    Friend WithEvents TestButton As Button
    Private Sub │TestButton_Click(ByVal Sender As Object, _
        ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles TestButton.Click

    End Sub
End Class

Result:

C#

class TestClass
{
    public TestClass()
    {
        TestButton = new Button();
    }
    public Button TestButton;
│}

VB.NET

Class TestClass
    Public Sub New()
        TestButton = New Button()
    End Sub
    Friend WithEvents TestButton As Button
│End Class
