[C#] A simple implementation of the WeakEvent pattern
Read OriginalThis technical article discusses how improper event handling in .NET can cause memory leaks by preventing garbage collection of listener objects.

The author then introduces a custom implementation using a WeakDelegate class that stores a weak reference to the delegate's target, allowing for easier creation of weak events similar to normal events.
