.net - What's the VB.NET equivalent of this C# code for wiring up and declaring an event?

Question

I'm working on a tutorial to build a media player in Silverlight and am trying to wire up an EventHandler to the timer.Tick event of a DispatchTimer object so that the time of the video is synced with a Slider object.

The sample code is in C# and I can't for the life of me figure out the proper syntax in VB.NET with RaiseEvent and/or Handles to wire up the event. Below is the relevant C# code. I'll include comments on where I'm getting stuck.

private DispatchTimer timer;

public Page()
{
    //...
    timer = new DispatchTimer();
    timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50);
    timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick); // <== I get stuck here b/c
        // I can't do "timer.Tick += ..." in VB.NET
}

void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     if (VideoElement.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.TotalSeconds > 0)
     {
         sliderScrubber.Value = VideoElement.Position.TotalSeconds /
             VideoElement.NaturalDuration.TimeSpan.TotalSeconds;
     }
}

Like this:

AddHandler timer.Tick, AddressOf timer_Tick

Alternatively,

Private WithEvents timer as DispatcherTimer


Sub timer_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles timer.Tick

End Sub
