Hi Lubo,

> I also considered to define the WeakEventHandler as an interface which extends EventHandler, but adds no additional methods. Then leave it to event handler containers to reference such event handlers weakly. This has very simple and direct usage, but also its own problems. We can discuss it further if you find this solution preferred to the wrapper approach.

Extending WeakReference and lacking the public constructor did make me a little weak in the knees :-). What were the problems with WeakEventHandler being an interface?

Thanks!
Richard
