Code inspection: Event never invoked

This inspection reports an event that can be subscribed to but is never raised. That usually means the event is incomplete, dead code, or does not notify listeners as intended.

Example

                class Counter
                {
                    public event EventHandler? Changed;
                    public void Subscribe(EventHandler handler)
                    {
                        Changed += handler;
                    }
                }
            

                class Counter
                {
                    public event EventHandler? Changed;
                    public void Increment()
                    {
                        Changed?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
                    }
                }
            

Quick-fix

There is no dedicated quick-fix for this inspection. A typical correction is to raise the event where the state actually changes, or remove the event if it is not needed.
