Silverlight 2 : RoutedEventArgs.Empty

03-10-2008 8:15 AM |

RoutedEventArgs.Empty is returning type EventArgs instead of type RoutedEventArgs.

private void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    SearchBtn_Click((object)SearchBtn, RoutedEventArgs.Empty);
}

private void SearchBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
}

Throws exception: 'Argument '2': cannot convert from 'System.EventArgs' to 'System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs'

Try

SearchBtn_Click((object)SearchBtn,  New RoutedEventArgs);
private void SearchBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
}

or

SearchBtn_Click((object)SearchBtn,  New EventArgs);
private void SearchBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

 I understand that the soultion to the problem is:

SearchBtn_Click((object)SearchBtn,  new RoutedEventArgs());
private void SearchBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
}

I just wanted to let the Dev's know that it was returning the wrong type and found this to be the only place to report bugs for the new Silverlight 2 Beta
