protected virtual void OnTextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

Protected Overridable Sub OnTextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate.

The OnTextChanged method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors:

When overriding OnTextChanged in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnTextChanged method so that registered delegates receive the event.
