'Handles' is not valid on operator declaration
An Operator Statement specifies the Handles keyword.
Only a Sub procedure can handle events. An Operator procedure cannot. For more information on event handlers, see How to: Call an Event Handler in Visual Basic.
An Operator procedure requires both the Public and Shared keywords, and a conversion operator requires either the Widening or the Narrowing keyword. For more information, see Operator Procedures.
Error ID: BC33003
To correct this error
If you intend this procedure to handle events, rewrite it as a Sub procedure.
If you intend this procedure to define an operator, remove the Handles keyword from its declaration.
