How do I provide the event handling for my form and controls using VS.NET?

Adding Event Handling You can provide event handling for forms and controls by implementing their respective event handlers. To implement an event handler for a form or control, go to Events tab of the properties window, and double click the desired event handler name. The form designer will add the event handler for the selected event in the source code of the application and take you there. If you want to implement a default event handler of the form or control, simply double click it.

For example, to add the event handling code for the Exit button in the Hello WinForm application (demonstrated in FAQ 5), simply double click the Exit button in the designer. It will create a new event handler for the Exit button’s Click event and take you to the source code as shown in the following figure

C# Version

Write the code to close the application (Application.Exit()) in the event handler. The IDE in fact has not only created the event handler but also has registered it with the Exit button’s Click event.
