Answer 1

AddHandler is the VB.NET equivalent to C#’s += when used on events.

AddHandler context.PostRequestHandlerExecute, AddressOf context_BeginRequest

Bingo. I don't know why but the Telerik converter messes this up and I don't use AddressOf enough to keep remembering this. – Onesided

Answer 2

You need to use the AddHandler statement, not +=. that is c# syntax.

AddHandler context.PostRequstHandlerExecute, New EventHandler(AddressOf context_BeginRequest)
