expose and raise event of a child control in a usercontrol in c#

Hi i have a UserControl which contains the textbox within, i wanted to access the textchanged event of the textbox, but in the event properties of the usercontrol i don't see the events for the textbox. How can i expose and handle particular events of the child controls from the publically exposed UserControl in Winforms with C#.

From stackoverflow

• Expose the entire TextBox as a public property in user control and subscribe to it's events the way you desire.
  Example:
  

  class myUserControl: UserControl { 
  private TextBox _myText;
  public TextBox MyText { get {return _myText; } }
  

  }

  After doing this you can subscribe on any of its events like so:
  

  theUserControl.MyText.WhatEverEvent += ...
  

  Hope this helps!

  Anirudh Goel : thanks, i had done similar thing as of now. Was looking for an elegant solution which was provided above.Thanks for your help.+1

• You can surface a new event and pass any subscriptions straight through to the control, if you like:

  public class UserControl1 : UserControl 
  {
      // private Button SaveButton;
  
      public event EventHandler SaveButtonClick
      {
          add { SaveButton.Click += value; }
          remove { SaveButton.Click -= value; }
      }
  }
  

  Anirudh Goel : Awesome thing! I did something similar, by explicitly adding an event handler as i had exposed the child control publically through the usercontrol. Your suggestion is the neater way of it! Thanks!

  Thomas Levesque : Despite its elegance, this solution has a major drawback : the `sender` argument passed to the handler will be the Button, not the UserControl... This makes it impossible to use the same handler for several instances of the control

  Nassign : Is there anything else to make this work? somehow the event handler added declaratively does not work
