How to fix this event related error in VB.net (windows phone 7)

Question

Hi The following code gives me an error, which I am not too sure about how to fix. Can anyone help please?

Code:

    Public Event hw As EventHandler

Private Sub view_hw(sender As Object, eventArgs As Object)
    If hw IsNot Nothing Then
        hw.Invoke(Me, New EventArgs())
    End If
End Sub

Error:

Error   1   'Public Event hw(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)' is an event, and cannot be called directly. Use a 'RaiseEvent' statement to raise an event.

Answer 1

Public Event hw As EventHandler

Private Sub view_hw(sender As Object, eventArgs As Object)
    RaiseEvent hw(Me, New EventArgs())
End Sub
