Westa,

Calling a seperate DataBinding is exactly what I am looking for.
Already am running a few bits of code that DataBind, but want an understanding of the tags and validations.
I am aware that it will be a two step process. Creating the DataBind Command & Calling the command.

I already have the DataBind Command, I just need to know how the (By val  As Object  As)  tags will go.
This is for both parts of the process.

The DataBinds I am already using have vals of:  Private Sub ShowData(ByVal SearchString As String)
So I am not quite sure what my vals would be. Possibly: Public Sub RefreshData(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

This throws arguments too. I think you'll understand what I am asking.
How should the Subs tags be formated for custom events?
& for calling the event?

Baatezu,

Your attention to detail is apprecated, and your posts are proving to be quite useful.
This makes sense. I am already using a custom command for searching, but that was a snippet from another module.
So, I was aware of the proccess, but wanted a firm understanding. 

The only element of your post that I am a bit unclear is the parameter I should be using. I tried using what I thought was a basic parameter.
This is what I am using for my function:

Private Sub MyFunc(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

But when I goto call function using:

MyFunc(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

It mentions: "expression expected"  and I also tried: MyFunc()

What would you recommend for a basic calling parameter?

I try to be useful, also, often lazy.

To expand on what westa has said;
Create your function
Private Sub MyFunc(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    'Your Code Here
End Sub

Then in your Event Functions (Page_Init or Button_Click) you would call MyFunc as;
MyFunc(sender, e)

sender and e are both the parameters from the Event Functions, incase they are called something else for some reason.

Hope that helps more.
