Is there a way for me to just specify an event handler without creating a new sub?

For example... Normally I would do something like the following: 

AddHandler btn.click, EventHandler OpenDirectory

Private Sub OpenDirectory
     Process.Start("SomeDir")
End Sub

As you can see, the sub is just a one line of code. So, can I simplify it down and do something like the following:

AddHandler btn.click, Process.Start("SomeDir")

I know the above doesn't work, but I'm hoping I'm being clear in what I want to do with the example.

    Use an in-line one: `AddHandler btn.Click, Sub(snd, evt) Process.Start("SomeDir")`. It can substitute an explicit `EventHandler` (you don't even need the parameters).

  • Make sure you remove that handler as well. – Trevor Aug 01 '18 at 16:48
