IComponent

IComponent defines the contract that components must follow. IComponent specifies only one property and one event. The property is Site and is shown here:

 ISite Site { get; set; }

Site obtains or sets the site of the component. A site links the component with a container. This property is null if the component is not stored in a container.

The event defined by IComponent is Disposed and is shown here:

 event EventHandler Disposed

A client that needs to receive a notification when a component is destroyed registers an event handler through the Disposed event.

IComponent also inherits System.IDisposable, which defines the method Dispose( ), as shown here:

 void Dispose( )

This method frees any resources used by the object.
