args TEventArgs
  Event arguments.

#### Usage Note

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type TEventHandler. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

## Remarks

Event handler invocation list access will be locked on eventHandler.
