`Native Code Encountered` when trying to subscribe to an event.

[Vardan2009]

Area of Cosmos - What area of Cosmos are we dealing with?

Events

Expected Behaviour - What do you think that should happen?

Be able to subscribe to a custom event

Actual Behaviour - What unexpectedly happens?

The compilation fails with the following message Exception: System.Exception: Native code encountered, plug required. Chech build output for more information I assume this means that Cosmos is missing a plug for Event Handling, but I thought Cosmos had an implementation for that?

Reproduction - How did you get this error to appear?

Create custom event args

public class MouseEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    public uint x;
    public uint y;
}

Create an event in another class

public event EventHandler<MouseEventArgs> MouseClick;
// Call this when need to invoke event
protected virtual void OnMouseClick(MouseEventArgs e) => MouseClick?.Invoke(this, e);

Try to subscribe to the event from other class

// if I only remove this single line, the whole code compiles successfully, the only part that causes
// the compiler to throw an error is when trying to subscribe to the event
clickBtn.MouseClick += OnClickBtnClick;
/// ... ///
private void OnClickBtnClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    clickCount++;
    countLabel.Text = $"Clicked the button {clickCount} times";
}

Version - Were you using the User Kit or Dev Kit? And what User Kit version or Dev Kit commit (Cosmos, IL2CPU, X#)?

Latest DevKit with C#

That means something isn't plugged. Could you show us the full output log so we can see which method needs to be plugged?

This is the part of the output since the error

Sorry @gamma63 , EventHandler is not working as bug of IL2CPU. (Bug of MulticastDelegate Plugs) You need to use List to do it.

Bit late, but this indeed is a bug and is tracked in #2765.
