Notes about the Solution Code - Page 3

There are three places where something that you might think of as "cheater" code can be found. First ....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Private Sub Form1_Load( _
  ByVal sender As System.Object, _
  ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
  Handles MyBase.Load
  Button3_Click(sender, e)
End Sub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the program starts up, it's often necessary to write some program code to "set up" the program in a state that is ready for first use. The Load event of the main entry form is a common place to put this code. In this case, however, there is code in the Click event of Button3.

What's Button3 you ask? A-Hah! Now you're starting to understand why we give objects meaningful names!
