There isn't much. A delegate is a wrapper around a method call, an event is
basically a special property that contains a delegate with protection
provided by the language. Events are accessed through a set of property
methods(public add_EventName(Delegate d), public remove_EventName(Delegate
d), and sometimes a protected raise_EventName(not sure of the sig, think its
just EventArgs e)) which allows you to ensure that callers outside of your
class don't raise the event or don't clear all the event listeners for
example, while still allowing them to add and remove their own handlers.
