Event Example
A typical example that uses the event-based communication model is a number of documents linked to a spreadsheet cell. The documents are automatically updated if the value of the cell changes. Preferably, the spreadsheet should not have to keep track of which documents need to be updated. The Event Service is well suited for this task.
