RaiseEvent - Why adding to button click raises on usercontrol load

[freeblog]

This seems very odd to me. I need MainForm (Form) to be able to capture a user control event (btnConnect)

UserControl

    Public Event ConnectionCompletedEventArgs As EventHandler

    Private Sub btnConnect_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnConnect.Click
        RaiseEvent ConnectionCompletedEventArgs(Nothing, EventArgs.Empty)
    End Sub

MainForm

    Private WithEvents _server As New Server


    Private Sub ConnectEventArghs() Handles _server.ConnectionCompletedEventArgs
        Debug.WriteLine("do task here")
    End Sub

should it be something like _server.btnConnection.click

First up, this:

RaiseEvent ConnectionCompletedEventArgs(Nothing, EventArgs.Empty)

should be this:

RaiseEvent ConnectionCompletedEventArgs(Me, EventArgs.Empty)

Secondly, if it's a UserControl then why are you declaring it in code when you should almost certainly be adding it to your form in the designer?

Hi and thanks for the replys. The same issue is happening event being raised onload.

Maybe a explanation of what i am doing will allow better assistance.

I have 2 usercontrols and a mainform.

Mainform docks the user controls. When mainform loads it auto loads UC1 (UserControl1). Once options have been selected and the accept button is pressed i need MainForm to read these values, load usercontrol 2 passing this information.

am i using events wrong here?
