casting event handlers

[Darren]

Why can I cast an event I declare but not one defined in the Form class


public event System.EventHan dler MyEvent;

private void SomeFn()
{
MulticastDelega te d1 = (MulticastDeleg ate)this.MyEven t;

// this line won't compile
MulticastDelega te d2 = (MulticastDeleg ate)this.Load;
}

Inside a class that defines an event, the event name gives you access
to the underlying delegate.

Outside the class you only get to add and remove handlers, no direct
access to the delegate field.
