How can I respond to events raised by programmatically created UI elements? - vb.net

Question

I'm creating a board game for a piece of coursework. For the board, I'm using some nested For loops running through a 2D array to generate a "Space" object at each square.
The Space object contains a picturebox and some data about that space.
How can I handle events caused by clicking on the generated picturebox without having to hard-code it for each space?
I noticed this question seems to address this, but it's in C# and I couldn't translate it to VB.Net.
Edit:
This is how the board is generated
Dim board(23, 24) As Space
Private Sub GenerateBoard()
Dim spaceSize As New Size(30, 30)
Dim spaceLocation As New Point
Dim validity As Boolean
For Y = 0 To 24
For X = 0 To 23
spaceLocation.X = 6 + (31 * X)
spaceLocation.Y = 6 + (31 * Y)
If validSpaces(Y).Contains(X + 1) Then
validity = True
Else
validity = False
End If
board(X, Y) = New Space(validity, spaceSize, spaceLocation)
Me.Controls.Add(board(X, Y).imageBox)
board(X, Y).imageBox.BackColor = Color.Transparent
board(X, Y).imageBox.BringToFront()
Next
Next
End Sub
Space Class:
Public Class Space
Dim _active As Boolean
Dim _imageBox As PictureBox
Public Sub New(ByVal activeInput As Boolean, ByVal size As Size, ByVal location As Point)
_active = activeInput
_imageBox = New PictureBox
With _imageBox
.Size = size
.Location = location
.Visible = False
End With
End Sub
Property active As Boolean
Get
Return _active
End Get
Set(value As Boolean)
_active = value
End Set
End Property
Property imageBox As PictureBox
Get
Return _imageBox
End Get
Set(value As PictureBox)
_imageBox = value
End Set
End Property
Public Sub highlight()
With _imageBox
.Image = My.Resources.Highlighted_slab
.Visible = True
End With
End Sub
End Class

First all controls created by designer(textbox, label...) a generated by code too, but VisualStudio write this for you. If you open Designer file(yourForm.Designer.vb), then you can see all code how to generate a controls.
If you want a create event handler for your pictureBox , then:
//Initialize control
Private WithEvents _imageBox as PictureBox
Then create a event handler method:
Private Sub imageBox_Click(sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
//Your code
End Sub
Then in VB.NET you can assign a Event handler to the Event in two ways
first: In class constructor after you created a pictureBox( New PictureBox()) add
AddHandler Me._imageBox, AddressOf Me.imageBox_Click
second: On line we you created a event handler add next:
Private Sub imageBox_Click(sender as Object, e as EventArgs) Handles _imageBox.Click
//Your code
End Sub
And remember add your pictureBox to form controls YourForm.Controls.Add(spaceInstance.ImageBox)
