I'm converting a VBA application to VB.NET; however, I can't find the equivalent methods to VBA's UserForm_Initialize, UserForm_Activate, UserForm_QueryClose, etc. Where can I look to find the respective methods for VB.NET, assuming they exist?

Referring to the Order of Events in Windows Forms, you can use the following events and methods to handle similar functionality.
UserForm_Initialize→Form.LoadUserForm_Activate→Form.ActivatedUserForm_QueryClose→Form.FormClosingBest Regards.

2023-06-21T16:13:44.8233333+00:00 The hyperlink to "Order of Events" shows the syntax for C#, but also the syntax is Form1_Load, etc. (with an underscore). In either case, I'm not sure if I not doing something correctly, but either I get compiler errors or I don't get the method invoked; that is, Form1_Load is not called.

2023-06-22T19:43:52.31+00:00 The web-site: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/vb.net/vb.net_forms.htm, provided the syntax that I was looking for; e.g., if "Public Class Form1", then the load statement would be "Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load". I could not find this syntax for LOAD, ACTIVATED anywhere in MS's docs. But this web-site was very helpful. Thank you all for your help.

You can find the drop-down menu to switch to VB in the upper right corner of the document.

In my answer, there is a drop-down menu for switching languages in the link for each event, which you can view.
