C# Memory Leak: Event Handlers Never Unsubscribe

- 11.12.25 - ErcanOPAK

The classic leak:

service.OnData += Handler;

If you never do:

service.OnData -= Handler;

your entire object stays in memory FOREVER.

✔ Life-Saving Pattern

using var reg = service.OnData.Register(Handler);

Self-disposing event registration.
Almost nobody uses this but it prevents weeks-long debugging nightmares.
