Know Routed Event? Share what you know with developers who are learning it.
In .NET we all are familiar with events, which are messages that are sent by an object, which can be any Silverlight element, like button, textbox etc., to notify code that something significant has happened. So in a typical .NET application, the control which fires an event also raises it / handles it.
Silverlight elements use KeyDown and KeyUp events to notify you when a key is pressed. These events use bubbling, so they travel up from the element that currently has focus to the containing elements.
Until now we were acquainted with normal events which are the basics of Windows Forms Applications. WPF introduces a new concept called Routed Event. So here we will have a brief introduction for this new feature and a comparison between CLR Events and Routed Events. We will not start with a definition; instead we will go back to old methods of CLR event and try to achieve something funny but logically meaningful.
