  I don't believe that C# has a direct equivalent to the Handles keyword. You have to wire event handles elsewhere using the += operator. For example, Visual Studio automatically wires events in InitializeComponent(), which is called by Page.OnInit(). Look up the += for more info. Also, here is a cool table of language equivalents: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/vxgrfLanguageEquivalents.asp

  you make the method seperately so in your example you'd say:

  
  private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
  
  
  //enter code here
  
  
  }
  
  
  
  

  then in the OnInit method you'd say

  this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);
  

  this type of setup uses delegates to accomplish the event handling and replaces the publisher/subscriber pattern needed in Java (in case you were curious).
