NP106 if (Changed != null)

Jul 2 2008 7:42 AM

Hi Guys

 

NP106 if (Changed != null)

 

I got the following program from a book.

 

Anyone knows please explain the reason. What is the significant of if (Changed != null)?.

 

Please explain.

 

Thank you

 

using System;

public delegate void ChangedEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);

 

public class Student

{

    private int idNum;

    private double gpa;

    public event ChangedEventHandler Changed;

 

    public int GetId()

    {

        return idNum;

    }

    public double GetGpa()

    {

        return gpa;

    }

    public void SetId(int num)

    {

        idNum = num;

        OnChanged(EventArgs.Empty);

    }

    public void SetGpa(double avg)

    {

        gpa = avg;

        OnChanged(EventArgs.Empty);

    }

    public void OnChanged(EventArgs e)

    {

        if (Changed != null)

            Changed(this, e); //invoking the event   

    }

}

class EventListener

{

    private Student stu;

 

    public EventListener(Student student) //constructor of the EventListener class

    {

        stu = student;

        stu.Changed += new ChangedEventHandler(StudentChanged);

    }

    public void StudentChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        Console.WriteLine("The student has changed.");

        Console.WriteLine("   ID# {0} GPA {1}\n", stu.GetId(), stu.GetGpa());

    }

}

class DemoStudentEvent

{

    public static void Main()

    {

        Student oneStu = new Student();

        EventListener listener = new EventListener(oneStu);

       

        oneStu.SetId(2345);

        oneStu.SetId(4567);

        oneStu.SetGpa(3.2);

    }

}

/*

The student has changed.

   ID# 2345 GPA 0

 

The student has changed.

   ID# 4567 GPA 0

 

The student has changed.

   ID# 4567 GPA 3.2
