Auto remove accidental eventhandler?

Ken

Sometimes I double-click a control, thinking I had attached code to it, just to find I had not (or I clicked the wrong control). I remove the auto inserted function, but next time I compile it complains because the designer still has the eventhandler defined but no function now so I have to go remove it manually.

Not a big deal of course, but just curious if it had some nifty shortcut way to fix that when it happens...?

No, Ken; there is not a simpler trick. You can let the compiler find the problem as you say and then just delete the extarneous code. Not a big deal as you say.

It should list the attached handlers for each event in the Properties Box of the control concerned. If you delete the surplus handler from there and rebuild the project it should remove the code automatically though I'd remove any code you've added to the handler first.

However, if for some reason, it doesn't work then you have to remove it manually including removing the appropriate lines from the InitializeComponent() method.
