Parameters

name

The name of the routed event. The name must be unique within the owner type and cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string.

routingStrategy

The routing strategy of the event as a value of the enumeration.

handlerType

The type of the event handler. This must be a delegate type and cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) .

ownerType

The identifier for the newly registered routed event. This identifier object can now be stored as a static field in a class and then used as a parameter for methods that attach handlers to the event. The routed event identifier is also used for other event system APIs.

Use the return value of this method to create the static declaration for a unique RoutedEvent identifier field. This field should be stored within the owner type.

There are a considerable number of conventions and best practices associated with how routed events should be named, registered, and exposed in a class. For more information, see Routed Events Overview.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
