When you subscribe to an event in code, Visual Studio automatically completes the code after +=
and generates the appropriate event handler:
button.Click += new EventHandler(button_Click);
// ↑_____auto generated code_____↑
Notice how it explicitly creates the delegate instance: even though method groups are implicitly convertible to delegates since C# 2, the IDE behavior still hasn't changed in VS2010.
So I'd like to know, is there a way to generate code like this instead?
button.Click += button_Click;
EDIT
just to make things clear to everyone: the code above is not in a designer file (I wouldn't care which syntax is used if it was the case). It's the snippet that is triggered when you type +=
after an event name and press TAB
EDIT2
I reported this as a suggestion on Connect, you can vote for it if you also want the current behavior to be changed
