Loading sub from another sub

Question

Good afternoon,

I have a really simple question which i cannot work out.

I'm trying to call a private sub from another private sub which are in the same class but get an error.

This is the sub i'm trying to call...Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

This is the code i'm typing in which gives me an error..... Timer1_Tick()

Sorry for the silly question, my VB.net skills are fairly basic.

Thanks
Simon

Either invoke the Start method or use Timer1_Tick(Nothing, Nothing) were generally speaking one does not use the parameters.

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
    Console.WriteLine(Now)
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Timer1_Tick(Nothing, Nothing)
End Sub
