EventDescriptor and discovering attached handlers?

Given an EventDescriptor, how do you discover the attached event handlers? I had orginally thought this might be impossible since you don't know how the event is implemented (i.e. it might not be backed by a Delegate) but I suspect CodeDomSerializerBase.SerializeEvents is doing it somehow.
Thanks,
Ray

The IEventBindingService helps you do this. See this doc for details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemcomponentmodeldesignieventbindingserviceclasstopic.asp.

This IEventBindingService appears to allow me to bind to events easily but it does not appear to give me a way to discover the already bound handlers.

I'm gussing that CodeDomSerializer.SerializeEvents() uses the object and EventDescriptor parameters to key some internal structure to obtain a list of the event handlers to serialize.
