Public Shared Event doesn't work..?

Hi there,

I'm trying to build a class (Class1) with a Public Shared Sub wich is raising an Public Shared Event wich I want to catch in another class (Form1).

I wonder why the event doesn't occur and the sub OnNewPerson isn't being executed.

Here's my form1:
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Private Sub OnNewPerson()
MsgBox("new person")
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

Class1.subNewPerson()

AddHandler Class1.NewPerson, AddressOf OnNewPerson

End Sub
End Class

and here's the class:

Public Class Class1

Public Shared Event NewPerson()


Public Shared Sub subNewPerson()
RaiseEvent NewPerson()
End Sub

End Class

Can anybody advise me here? Thanks in advance!

Jeroen.

It looks like you're trying to fire the event before you're listening for it.

Try switching the order of these lines...

Class1.subNewPerson()

AddHandler Class1.NewPerson, AddressOf OnNewPerson

Thanks. Didn't saw that.
