Events Not Working With After Deserialization?

I have a Child class which uses DataContractSerialization and raises a Changed event when its Name property is set.

<DataContract()>
Public Class Child
Public Event Changed()



The Parent class is serialzed and deserialized and all the data (including the Child) is saved and resored as expected.However, after deserialization, the Changed event is never raised!I know the deserialization process bypasses class constructors, but shouldn't the event be initialized?Is it possible to serialize/deserialize the Event?Is there a way to initialize the event in the OnDeserialzed method of the Child rather than the Parent (see below)?

(1) Add a constructor to the Child class which takes an instance of itself as an argument.

(2) Add an OnDeserialized method to the Parent class which creates a New instance of the Child class based on the deserialzed instance of the Child class.

<OnDeserialized()>
Private Sub OnDeserializedMethod(ByVal Context As StreamingContext)
Child = New Child(Child)
End Sub

Now the Changed event is raised as expected.
