Description

It is a confusing example. This page is about the "EventHandler Delegate", but the example provided is for the "EventHandler<TEventArgs> Delegate".

I tried to get the "EventHandler Delegate" to work in my code, but it didn't work. I did eventually discover my mistake, but having an appropriate example would have made it much quicker. I have no issue if you adjust the example to provide a sample for both Delegates.

The sample for EventHandler should not use EventHandler<TEventArgs>.
