Question

I have loop to create a column of button and now i wish to implemented the eventhandler into all the buttons but is not working.

The iteration to create a column of button

 For e As Integer = 0 To 19
                btnFriday(e) = New Button()
                btnFriday(e).Height = 23
                btnFriday(e).Width = 150
                btnFriday(e).SetValue(Grid.ColumnProperty, 9)
                btnFriday(e).SetValue(Grid.RowProperty, e + 1)
                btnFriday(e).Click +=  New RoutedEventHandler(AddressOf btnBookSlot_Click)
                LayoutRoot.Children.Add(btnFriday(e))
    Next

I wish to do like when 1 of the btnFriday is clicked then perform the below event which is open a childwindow called as Bookslot

Private Sub btnBookSlot_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim btn As Button = DirectCast(sender, Button)
    Dim bookSlot As New BookSlot()
    bookSlot.show()

End Sub

And i receive error like

Public Event Click(sender As Object, e As
System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)’ is an event, and cannot be called
directly. Use a ‘RaiseEvent’ statement to raise an event

Most of the solutions were built using C# with silverlight and they seem to be working great. While i having problem by using VB.NET with silverlight Any idea ?

Answer 1

I believe all you need to change is:

 btnFriday(e).Click +=  New RoutedEventHandler(AddressOf btnBookSlot_Click)

To:

  AddHandler btnFriday(e).Click, AddressOf btnBookSlot_Click
