Is it possible to “steal” an event handler from one control and give it to another?

Is there a way to get references of the event handlers from the event?

For example:

EventHandler evt = btn.Click; // or another way ?

(Here the EventHandler is the delegate and Click is an event of Button)

    An event only implements add and remove accessor blocks, like get and set only different. As such, there is no "get" for events. [More info here](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/awbftdfh.aspx) – Jasper Oct 09 '12 at 13:56

If you defined the event and your code that accesses it is in the same class (i.e. not derived) then you can access it and get the invocation list.

MulticastDelegate m = (MulticastDelegate)MyEvent;  

var list = m.GetInvocationList();  

foreach(Delegate d in list)  
{  
    // look at the delegate
}

For the case where you want to access the invocation list of an event defined in a class whose code you can't modify...

You can try with this code - Just casting

var result = (EventHandler)control.Click;
Console.WriteLine(result.Method.Name);
