Hi

when creating a handler

AddHandler btn.Click, AddressOf btnAddProjectNotes

for the following delegate

Protected Sub btnAddProjectNotes_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddProjectNotes.Click

End Sub

if get this error messsage

Private Dim WithEvents btnAddProjectNotes As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button' does not have the same signature as
delegate 'Delegate Sub EventHandler(sender As Object, e As
System.EventArgs)'

how do i correct this problem

I don't know VB that well but i think it is complaining about the protected
type.

You are trying to attach to the object rather than the method.

You should write...
-------------------------------------------------------------
AddHandler btn.Click, AddressOf btnAddProjectNotes_Click
-------------------------------------------------------------
....rather than...
-------------------------------------------------------------
AddHandler btn.Click, AddressOf btnAddProjectNotes
-------------------------------------------------------------
