        button2.PerformClick()
        ' Display the status of Button2's Click event.
        MessageBox.Show("button2 was clicked ")

        ' Display the status of Button2's Click event.
        MessageBox.Show("button2 was NOT clicked")

    myVar = myVar + 1
End Sub 'button1_Click

private void button1_Click (Object sender, 
                               EventArgs e)
 {
    // If myVar is an even number, click Button2.

    myVar = myVar + 1;
