raise an event error when converting c# code to vb.net

[Alan Adolphe]

Hi, I have converted C# code to vb.net using the online converter tools. One error messages I can't seem to figure out. Any ideas or help is appreciated.

  Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()

        Me.Flip1Half.Completed += New EventHandler(AddressOf Flip1Half_Completed)
    End Sub

error mesage:
Error 8 'Public Event Completed(sende r As Object, e As System.EventArg s)' is an event, and cannot be called directly. Use a 'RaiseEvent' statement to raise an event.

thank's for any help .

There really isn’t enough information here to figure out what is supposed to be happening.

VB event basics:

Declare an event: - [from your error message it looks like this is in there somewhere

 Public Event Complete(byVal sender as Object,ByVal e as System.EventArgs)

Raise an event: - [I think this is probably somewhere in your code as well]

 RaiseEvent Complete(me,args)

The line is that is causing you a problem is an attempt to dynamically assign a sub routine to the event.

This is where the lack of code become a problem for us to guess at. Typically the code would look like this:

Dim myObj as new Flip1Half()

addHandler myObj.Completed, AddressOf Procedure_to_run_when_event_occurs

sub Procedure_to_run_when_event_occurs(sender as object,e as system.EventArgs)
	Do something
End sub

Hello David,

Yes you are correct, actualy i got it to run a couple days ago with the the following;

Public Sub New()
InitializeCompo nent()

AddHandler Me.Flip1Half.Co mpleted, New EventHandler(Ad dressOf Flip1Half_Compl eted)

End Sub

thank's for replying,
