Clarification about removing event handlers

Question

I have a class named MyClass that has an instance method named MyHandler .  There are two instances of MyClass , and an instance of another class named anotherClassInstance .  Within each instance of MyClass , the following code gets executed:

anotherClassInstance.SomeEvent += MyHandler

MyClass also contains the code:

anotherClassInstance.SomeEvent -= MyHandler

So my question is, when the latter code gets executed (for removing the event handler), will it only remove the handler for the specific MyClass instance in which its executed?  I worry that maybe it also removes the handler for the other MyClass instance.

Answer 1

It will only remove the handler for the specific instance that's running.  If you have two instances of MyClass, and you subscribe to both of their event handlers, they are handled completely separately.  Unsubscribing works the same way, it just unsubscribes that one time.

You don't need to worry.
