But again, the use of the anonymous method for AlarmReceived means you can't unwire it.

How to: Subscribe to and Unsubscribe from Events (C# Programming Guide)[^]

It is important to notice that you cannot easily unsubscribe from an event if you used an anonymous function to subscribe to it. To unsubscribe in this scenario, it is necessary to go back to the code where you subscribe to the event, store the anonymous method in a delegate variable, and then add the delegate to the event. In general, we recommend that you do not use anonymous functions to subscribe to events if you will have to unsubscribe from the event at some later point in your code.

Func<Task> handler = HiddenAnonymousMethod1;
if (source != null)
    source.AlarmReceived -= handler;
source = value;
if (source != null)
    source.AlarmReceived += handler;

if (source != null)
    source.AlarmReceived -= HiddenAnonymousMethod1;
source = value;
if (source != null)
    source.AlarmReceived += HiddenAnonymousMethod2;

private static readonly Task CompletedTask = Task.FromResult(true);

private IEnumerable<Func<Task>> GetAlarmInvocationList()
{
    lock (this)
    {
        Func<Task> handler = eAlarmReceived;
        if (handler == null) return null;
        return handler.GetInvocationList().Cast<Func<Task>>().ToList();
    }
}

internal Task OnAlarm()
{
    var eTasks = GetAlarmInvocationList();
    if (eTasks == null) return CompletedTask;
    
    var tasks = eTasks.Select(fn => fn());
    return Task.WhenAll(tasks);
