Passing object as parametar in VB.NET - vb.net

Question

I am a beginner and please show me how to pass the parameter object Person to Button.Click event. I'm using vb.net. Here is my code:
Public Class Form1
Public Class MyPersonClass
Public Name As String
Public Age As Integer
Public Title As String
End Class
Public Sub DisplayPerson(ByVal person As MyPersonClass)
Label1.Text = person.Name
Label2.Text = person.Age.ToString()
Label3.Text = person.Title
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
End Sub
End Class

Answer 1

You don’t – Button1_Click is an event handler, you’re not supposed to call it manually. It gets called, with predefined parameters, when a certain event occurs. You cannot really adapt these parameters, simply because it doesn’t make sense: the event would no longer know how to call the handler.
You can easily write your own method and pass any object to it, of course. And you’ve done exactly that with DisplayPerson.

Answer 2

Private ExamplePerson As MyPerson
Private Sub Form_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
ExamplePerson = New MyPersonClass 'thanks Chris Dunaway for the correction
ExamplePerson.Name = "Test Name"
ExamplePerson.Age = 36
ExamplePerson.Title = "Title Name"
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
DisplayPerson(ExamplePerson)
End Sub
