How to register for an EventHandler when there is a method with the same name
I have an instance of the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word in a variable
Application word;
Now I want to register a method for the Quit Eventhandler.
word.Quit += onWordQuit;
The problem is, that there is also a method called Quit. The compiler complains that
"Cannot assign to 'Quit' because it is a method group.
Reference 'Quit' is a 'method group'. The assignment target must be an assignable variable, property or indexer
I found this blog post from 2004 about this subject.
But when I cast Quit like so:
(ApplicationEvents4_QuitEventHandler)word.Quit += onWordQuit;
I get the error
No overload for
Quitmatches delegate
ApplicationEvents4_QuitEventHandler.
How can I register to the Quit Event Handler in this case?

There is noQuitevent handler. If you look on Microsoft Docs you'll see thatQuitis a void method. You can see other entries at this link which show the various ApplicationEventsX_Event_Quit events

That does not work either.Cannot choose method from method group. Did you intend to invoke the method?

@A Friend: Intellisense shows both a method and an EventHandler with the name Quit.This is why I asked the question. But I see that the documentation does not confirm the existence of this EventHandler.

@A Friend: I am using the Application class and not the ApplicationClass. The Application class does have a Quit event.
