In one of my earlier tutorials, I gave an overview of [events and event handlers](http://www.kirupa.com/net/event_handlers_pg1.htm) where you learned how to associate events with event handlers that react to the event. What I didn’t write about was some of the nuances of events. Let’s address that with this short tutorial where I cover routed events and, more specifically, event bubbling and event tunneling.
