Re: raising events by name

> Is it possible to enumerate events inside app. and to check their names?
Yes; via reflection or System.ComponentModel. This lets you add/remove
event subscriptions, but it doesn't allow you to invoke the event.
Unless you hack about, you only have access to the *public* part of the
event, which (in C# at least) is just the add/remove accessor methods.
The underlying delegate is *often* a private field, but could also be in
an EventHandlerList, a Dictionary<,>, or on some parent/child instance.

In short, there is no robust single way of doing this for arbitrary classes.
