AddHandler / Remove Handler?

[Tim]

If you instantiate a web control programmatically in Form_Load and then add
a click event handler to it using AddHandler MyControl.Click AddressOf
MyEventHandler, is it necessary to call RemoveHandler MyControl.Click
AddressOf MyEventHandler in the Page_Unload event? Does not removing
handlers have any side effects?
Thanks

In ASP.NET, no, it's not necessary. You typically only do this if your ccode
that was receiving the event is still running and you no longer want to receive
the event. Since ASP.NET creates a page for every request, the page and all
the child contorls are thrown away so no need to stop receiving the event
as the source of the event is gone itself, so to speak.

No, that's not necessary in ASP.NET, and it has no real effect.
