VB.NET: How to change setting on Click events

Visual Studio with VB.net: If I create a copy of a button on the forms designer, the click event is added to the click event handler of the source button.

How do I change this behaviour ? I want the click event of the second button be wired to a totally new click handler code, not to the already existing one of the first button.

There are two ways to copy a button.

  1. CTRL+C / CTRL+V (or same with right click menu). This will create a new button with a new event handler. Note that this new event handler is not created automatically, but will be created on button click in VS designer.

  2. CTRL + drag a control into a new location. This will create a copy with the same event handler, i.e. add an event handler to already existing one. This is the behavior you are seeing.

I'd be interested to know the official reference about this behavior, found the above by experiment. I've used CTRL + drag copy method 95% of the time, and had the same question for quite a while. Fortunately, there is a quick fix for event wiring - read below.

If you used the wrong method, you can manually delete the wiring code (the second handles clause), then double-click the button in question to create new click event handler for it (not a big deal).
