If you want to execute the same code at two different occasions you should put your code in a separate method and then call that at will.

By dividing your code like this you improve both readability and debuggability, and you make your code easier to understand and update.

Here's a brief example:

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
    If e.Key = Key.Enter Then
        UpdateStatus("Enter was pressed.") 'Call custom method.
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    UpdateStatus("Button1 was pressed. Hello World!") 'Call custom method.
End Sub

Private Sub UpdateStatus(ByVal Text As String) 'Custom method declaration.
    TextBox1.Text = Text
    'In here is where you'd put your code.
End Sub
