In this Try It out, in the Page_Load. It states to enter "Handles Me.Load" When I type the code, it indicates that "Handles" is in error. I using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition.

Here is the source, the error is in teh Page_Load event. It indicates that Handles Me.Load is in error.

    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        TextBox1.Text = "You clicked button 1"

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

should all be on the same line, or you should use the underscore as a line separator:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Me.Load

Hope this helps,

Thanks

After reviewing the example, I wasn't suppose to type the Handles.
