This class allows you to access events through reflection and is, itself, an implementation of MemberInfo. Attributes gets the EventAttributes object, and EventHandlerType gets the System.Type of the event-handler delegate for the event. IsMulticast returns true if the event is multicast, and IsSpecialName indicates whether this has special meaning. AddEventHandler( ) adds the passed delegate to the event handler, and GetAddMethod( ), GetRaiseMethod( ), and GetRemoveMethod( ) return a MethodInfo for the method used to add an event handler, raise an event, or remove an event handler, respectively.
