List of Objects and Shared Events

Okay so I've created a list of objects from a class like

   For B As Integer = 0 To 5
            clients.Add(New Client)
           AddHandler clients(B).OnMessage, AddressOf clients_OnRec
   Next

Then this is the event declaration

Public Event OnRec As EventHandler

This is my Event

Private Sub clients_OnRec(ByVal sender As Object)

'Does something

End Sub

My question is how can i determine which instance of the class in the list raised the event. I need to be able to do something like:

clients(whateveronefiredit).ExecuteMethodInClass

How can i do that?

:) Let me try explaining what is happening

Now in the list you have 5 objects of type Client and all this 5 of them call the event handler clients_OnRec on some kind of event.

When the first client raises this event the sender in the event handler signature Private Sub clients_OnRec(ByVal sender As Object) will have the client objects reference which raised the event.

so, in order to call the method ExecuteMethodInClass on the object which raised the event, you would do the following:

Private Sub clients_OnRec(ByVal sender As Object)
    Dim c As Client = CType(sender, Client) 'Cast the sender object as Client object
    c.ExecuteMethodInClass() 'This executes the ExecuteMethodInClass on the Client object which raised this event
End Sub

Hope that is clear.

Cheers
