Ken gives you a step by step illistration on why and how to use them. By the end of the video you will wonder how is it that we have been able to wright code with out them. He also addresses the performance issues.

I have just finished watching it (twice) and have started to redesign several of my base classes. We've been given the able to create your own VFP events. As with anything new we have to understand it before we fully appreciate.
