Example provided is for a different Delegate (the EventHandler<TEventArgs> Delegate)

Description

It is a confusing example. This page is about the "EventHandler Delegate", but the example provided is for the "EventHandler<TEventArgs> Delegate".

I tried to get the "EventHandler Delegate" to work in my code, but it didn't work. I did eventually discover my mistake, but having an appropriate example would have made it much quicker. I have no issue if you adjust the example to provide a sample for both Delegates.

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

The sample for EventHandler should not use EventHandler<TEventArgs>.

@steveharter @mdell-seradex there are no samples on the page. Or do you mean a Remark section as an example?

@kanilsz, that would be due to this: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/pull/10741/files

@mdell-seradex probably this could be closed then

@kanilsz, I'd prefer the example to be "restored" and corrected.
