C#基础-事件 继承类无法直接引发基类的事件

An event can be raised only from the declaration space in which it is declared. Therefore, a class cannot raise events from any other class, even one from which it is derived.

事件只能在它被声明的声明空间（类）中使用。所以不能从任何其他类引发，即使该类是事件所在类的继承类。

那我们如何才可以引发基类中的事件，给个实例大家一看就明白了。

namespace BaseClassEvents
{
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;

    // Special EventArgs class to hold info about Shapes. 
    public class ShapeEventArgs : EventArgs
    {
        private double newArea;

        public ShapeEventArgs(double d)
        {
            newArea = d;
        }
        public double NewArea
        {
            get { return newArea; }
        }
    }

    // Base class event publisher 
    public abstract class Shape
    {
        protected double area;

        public double Area
        {
            get { return area; }
            set { area = value; }
        }
        // The event. Note that by using the generic EventHandler<T> event type 
        // we do not need to declare a separate delegate type. 
        public event EventHandler<ShapeEventArgs> ShapeChanged;

        public abstract void Draw();

        //The event-invoking method that derived classes can override. 
        protected virtual void OnShapeChanged(ShapeEventArgs e)
        {
            // Make a temporary copy of the event to avoid possibility of 
            // a race condition if the last subscriber unsubscribes 
            // immediately after the null check and before the event is raised.
            EventHandler<ShapeEventArgs> handler = ShapeChanged;
            if (handler != null)
            {
                handler(this, e);
            }
        }
    }
