Please do yourself a favor: change the tag "VB" into "VB.NET".

You cannot "call an event", it is not a method. You can invoke event, and only in the class where the event was declared; it is impossible to invoke it anywhere else, not even in a derived class. This is one of important limitations of the events compared with "regular" delegate instances, an important fool-proof feature used to prevent even misuse.

The code using the class can only add a handler to the invocation list of the accessible even instance of an instance of the class.

What are your trying to do is not clear, but you certainly need to understand how events and delegates work first. You either need to use something else, not an event, or you need to do something else.

What you think you want to do is formally impossible, but probably you still need to do something reasonable. That's why you also need to explain your ultimate goals in your question, without using your understanding how to achieve it technically, as you could be preoccupied with some wrong idea.
