Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

    Button2.Width = 100
    Button2.Text = "Color: " + Button2.BackColor.Name
End Sub


private void Button2_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

    Button2.Width = 100;
    Button2.Text = "Color: "+Button2.BackColor.Name;
}


private:
   void Button2_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      Button2->Width = 100;
