How do I create an event handler for a programmatically created object in VB.NET?

Question

Say I have an object that I dynamically create. For example, say I create a button called \"MyButton\":

Dim MyButton as New Button()
MyButton.Name = \"MyButt         


        

Answer 1

With the newer versions of VB.NET you can use a lambda expression inline instead of an entire method (if you want)

Dim MyButton as New Button()
MyButton.Name = "MyButton"
AddHandler MyButton.Click, Sub(sender2, eventargs2)
                               'code to do stuff
                               'more code to do stuff
                           End Sub

Answer 2

You use AddHandler and AddressOf like this:

Dim MyButton as New Button()
MyButton.Name = "MyButton"
AddHandler MyButton.Click, AddressOf MyButton_Click
