Nelson,

I'd say the Click event is not a good example, since nothing's done normally in a Click event that you'd need to override. Unless you're talking about overriding the event in a sub-class of a sub-class. In that case, make sure that in your button's base class you define the Click handler as virtual so that it can be overridden in your sub-classes:

protected virtual Click_Handler(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  // code here
}

Then, in your sub-classed Click handler, you use override:

private override Click_Handler(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  // to execute the base class code, if you need it:
  base.Click_Handler(sender, e);
}

I think I got it right (this is untested code off the top of my head) ...
