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:

Code:

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:

Code:

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...

Code:

Class1.subNewPerson()

AddHandler Class1.NewPerson, AddressOf OnNewPerson
