About the Project

This repository contains the final project for an Event Driven Programming course. It showcases the implementation of reactive, event-based systems where the program flow is determined by events such as user actions, sensor outputs, or message passing.

The project emphasizes:

• Loose coupling between components
• Asynchronous event handling
• Responsive UI design patterns

---

✨ Features

• 🎯 Event-Driven Architecture – Central event loop with custom event handlers
• 🔧 Modular Design – Separated event producers, consumers, and dispatchers
• ⚡ Asynchronous Processing – Non-blocking execution for long-running tasks
• 🖥️ GUI Integration – User interface events drive application logic
• 🔌 Extensible – Easy to add new event types and listeners
• 📡 Multicast Delegates – Multiple handlers respond to the same event

---

🛠️ Tech Stack

[] []

Technology	Purpose
Visual Basic .NET	Primary language with .NET event model and WinForms/WPF handlers
.NET Framework / .NET Core	Runtime and event infrastructure

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get a copy of the project up and running locally.

Prerequisites

• Windows OS (recommended) – The project targets .NET Framework / WinForms
• Visual Studio (2019 or later) with .NET desktop development workload
• Basic knowledge of events, delegates, and UI programming

Installation & Running

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/trashpenguin/EDP.git
cd EDP

1. Open the solution in Visual Studio
2. Build the project (Ctrl + Shift + B)
3. Run the application (F5)

💡 Usage

Once the application runs:

1. Click buttons, type into text boxes, or trigger custom events
2. The system logs or displays event information (e.g., "Button Click Event raised")
3. Observe how different code parts respond to the same event via multicast delegates
