Updated (Variable Updated)

This event is fired when value of some variable defined in this context is modified.

This event is generated on updates of most variables. However, there are certain variables those value is generated on-the-fly, during the read operation. Every read of such a variable may result to a different value, but there are not explicit "update points" for them. Thus, Updated event will not be generated for those variables.
