Hello

In visual basic .net 2010, using .net framework 4.0, I noticed that some of my forms have Handles MyBase.Load while some others have Handles Me.Load as the form load handler defined.

Since this is inserted by the vs designer itself, why difference?

Which one is recommended so I update all my forms for handler of these events:

From Load

Form FormClosing

Form HelpRequested

Thank you all

    See the docs

    Me, My, MyBase, and MyClass in Visual Basic

    Also, use Form.Shown rather than Form.Load as there are time when the Load event swallows unhanded exceptions.

    The other events you should know when to use them e.g. Closing and HelpRequested.
