The difference between the two implementations?

Is there a difference between the two implementations?

1:

public class SMSManager : ManagerBase
{
    private EventHandler<SheetButtonClickEventArgs> _buttonClickevent; 

    public SMSManager(DataBlock smsDataBlock, DataBlock telephonesDataBlock) :
        base(smsDataBlock)
    {
        _buttonClickevent = new EventHandler<SheetButtonClickEventArgs>(OnButtonClick);
        SheetEvents.ButtonClick += _buttonClickevent;

    }

    public override void Dispose()
    {
        base.Dispose();
        if (_buttonClickevent != null)
        SheetEvents.ButtonClick -= _buttonClickevent;
    }
}

2:

public class SMSManager : ManagerBase
{
    public SMSManager(DataBlock smsDataBlock, DataBlock telephonesDataBlock) :
        base(smsDataBlock)
    {
        SheetEvents.ButtonClick += new EventHandler<SheetButtonClickEventArgs>(OnButtonClick);   
    }

    public override void Dispose()
    {
        base.Dispose();
        SheetEvents.ButtonClick -= new EventHandler<SheetButtonClickEventArgs>(OnButtonClick);
    }
}

The first seems more correct than the second regarding memory leaks. But is it really right?

Long and short, this second part of the code is correct and safe (even if there are no handlers).

Consider an example application:

namespace ConsoleApplication61
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var f = new Foo();
            f.MyEvent += new EventHandler(Handler);
            f.Trigger();
            f.MyEvent -= new EventHandler(Handler);
            f.Trigger();
            Console.Read();
        }

        static void Handler(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("handled");
        }
    }

    class Foo
    {
        public event EventHandler MyEvent;
        public void Trigger()
        {
            if (MyEvent != null)
                MyEvent(null, null);
        }
    }
}

This pattern prints "processed" once.

So, in your example, they are functionally the same, and both will work as needed. Removing a handler that has not been added is also a safe action, it simply does not find anything to delete and does nothing.

As stated in the comments, Marc's answer in more detail:

, - . , , :

Func<object, EventArgs> meth = (s, e) => DoSomething();

myEvent += meth;
myEvent -= meth;
, , , : -)

lambda

:

public class SMSManager : ManagerBase
{
    public SMSManager(DataBlock smsDataBlock, DataBlock telephonesDataBlock) 
        : base(smsDataBlock)
    {
        SheetEvents.ButtonClick += OnButtonClick;   
    }

    public override void Dispose()
    {
        SheetEvents.ButtonClick -= OnButtonClick;
        base.Dispose();
    }
}
