Hi i have a simple question. here is my code:

        XmlDocument xmlData = new XmlDocument();
        xmlData.Load("xml.xml");

        /* Load announcements first */
        XmlNodeList announcements = xmlData.GetElementsByTagName("announcement");

        for (int i = 0; i < announcements.Count; i++)
        {
            ToolStripMenuItem item = new ToolStripMenuItem();

            item.Name = announcements[i].FirstChild.InnerText;
            item.Text = announcements[i].FirstChild.InnerText;

            /* HERE IS WERE I NEED HELP */

            item.Click += new EventHandler();

            this.freedomMenu.Items.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[] { item });
        }

The xml LastChild holds information for each annoucement. I would like to create a click event handler where when teh list item is clicked, a message box shows up with the data inside it. My problem is i dont no how to dynamically generate event handlers to do this :(

For people who stumble across this question now:

I simply do this:

public Form1() {
item.Click += item_Click;
}

private void item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Code in here
}

Visual Studio can save you the hassle, though. After you type item.Click +=, it'll auto-populate once you press tab.
