Solution 1

VB

Dim buttons As New List(Of Button)()
for(int i = 0; i<100; i++)
{
    Dim myButton As New Button()
    AddHandler myButton.Click , AddressOf MyClickHandler
    buttons.Add(myButton)
}

VB

Private Sub MyClickHandler(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
End Sub

Thats the best I can do without more insight, like whether you're using ASP.NET, Winforms, WPF..

Updated the answer there was some C# intermingled with the VB.NET

i'm asking for a procedure by which I can handle all the 100 button click event in 1 function without using switch case.

From what you just said I still see my answer as a solution to your question, you'll need to elaborate more.

As for which button is clicked the sender parameter is the instance of the button that were clicked. E.g.
Dim myButton As Button = TryCast(sender, Button)
