The type '<type name>' has no event named '<event name>'
The type specified in the error message has no event of that name. The example below attempts to call an unsupported event.
Private Sub Button1_Chew(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e as System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Chew
End Sub
Note
C# users will not get an error with the following code:
private void button1_Chew(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
}
However, adding a line of code similar to the following to wire up the event handler will raise the error "System.Windows.Forms.Button does not contain a definition for Chew":
button1.Chew += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Chew);
To correct this error
- Use an event that is supported by that type.
