ModuleEventRaiser.Generator 1.0.10

ModuleEventRaiser.Generator

A lightweight VB.NET source generator that automatically creates RaiseEvent helper methods for events declared in Modules. Asynchronous event raising methods (RaiseEventAsync_xxx) are supported in version 1.0.9 and later.

⚠️ Important Version Note

Please use version 1.0.6 or later. Versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.5 had packaging issues that prevented them from working correctly as source generators. Only versions 1.0.6 and above are fully functional.

If you have an older version installed, please update to the latest version (see the Installation section).

Features

• Automatically generate RaiseEvent_xxx methods for Module events
• Supports any event parameter types (Double, String, custom classes, etc.)
• Zero runtime dependencies
• Compile-time only code generation
• Clean and easy to use
• Automatically adds required Imports for recognized types
• RaiseEventAsync_xxx methods for asynchronous event raising (available in version 1.0.9+)

Usage Example

Define your events in a partial module (like MyEvents.vb):

Partial Public Module MyEvents
    Public Event TemperatureChanged(temperature As Double)
    Public Event HumidityChanged(humidity As Double)
    Public Event LightLevelChanged(lightLevel As Integer)
End Module

The generator automatically creates:

Partial Public Module MyEvents
    Public Sub RaiseEvent_TemperatureChanged(temperature As Double)
        RaiseEvent TemperatureChanged(temperature)
    End Sub

    Public Sub RaiseEvent_HumidityChanged(humidity As Double)
        RaiseEvent HumidityChanged(humidity)
    End Sub

    Public Sub RaiseEvent_LightLevelChanged(lightLevel As Integer)
        RaiseEvent LightLevelChanged(lightLevel)
    End Sub

    ' --- Asynchronous event raising methods (available in version 1.0.9+) ---
    Public Async Function RaiseEventAsync_TemperatureChanged(temperature As Double) As Task
        Await Task.Run(Sub() RaiseEvent TemperatureChanged(temperature))
    End Function

    Public Async Function RaiseEventAsync_HumidityChanged(humidity As Double) As Task
        Await Task.Run(Sub() RaiseEvent HumidityChanged(humidity))
    End Function

    Public Async Function RaiseEventAsync_LightLevelChanged(lightLevel As Integer) As Task
        Await Task.Run(Sub() RaiseEvent LightLevelChanged(lightLevel))
    End Function
End Module
