So I've got an object. My object exposes a few public events. Now, being an enterprising developer, I want to take advantage of these events and add code which will actually DO something when these events get fired.
In C# I'd write MyObject.MyEvent += New EventHandler(MyFunction that I want called). This code looks remarkably like the code used for delegates and actually makes sense to me.
In VB I get an error when I refer to MyObject.MyEvent and it doesn't offer any helpful advice as to what I've done wrong. Finally, looking in the help files at EventHandler shows me that I'm missing a VB keyword - AddHandler.
Le sigh
