  3. This works, but is inflexible in that everything is hard-wired and follows a rigid path of execution. • In contrast, modern GUI programs operate on an event-based model. • That is, some event in the system occurs and interested modules are notified so they can react appropriately. 

  4. With Windows Forms, there is not a polling mechanism taking up resources and you don't have to code a loop that sits waiting for input. It is all built into the system with events.

  5. A C# event is a class member that is activated whenever the event it was designed for occurs. •  I like to use the term "fires" when the event is activated. • Anyone interested in the event can register and be notified as soon as the event fires. • At the time an event fires, registered methods will be invoked.
