What happens when an event is registered in SharePoint?
When a registered event occurs, SharePoint calls the appropriate method in your service and passes an object that provides some context information for your code. For example, the event type (from one of the two tables earlier in this article) is identified, so that your code can branch to the logic that is appropriate for the event.
Event hosts are common SharePoint objects that expect to receive events—in other words, objects whose event receivers “listen” for SharePoint events. These SharePoint event host object types include instances of common objects such as SharePoint site collections, sites, and lists.
