The existing contravariance example in the "Using Variance in Delegates" documentation was causing confusion for users who couldn't understand how the
MultiHandlermethod could handle bothKeyDownandMouseClickevents.Changes Made
1. Created Complete Working Example
snippets/using-variance-in-delegates/ContravarianceExample.csKeyEventArgsandMouseEventArgsclassesMultiHandlermethod handles multiple event types2. Enhanced Documentation
EventArgsparameter to handle events expecting more specific types3. Improved Code Organization
Example Output
The new example produces clear output demonstrating the concept:
This directly addresses the user's confusion by showing exactly how contravariance enables one handler to work with multiple event types, making the documentation much clearer and more educational.
Fixes #18540.
