        TextToBePrinted = text
        Dim prn As New Printing.PrintDocument
        Using (prn)
            prn.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = printer
            AddHandler prn.PrintPage,
               AddressOf Me.PrintPageHandler
            prn.Print()
            RemoveHandler prn.PrintPage,
               AddressOf Me.PrintPageHandler
        End Using
    End Sub

    Private Sub PrintPageHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As Printing.PrintPageEventArgs)

I can't find an algorithm that solves this problem in O(n). Do you have any idea?

The message tells you that Me in

VB

AddressOf Me.PrintPageHandler

is unknown.

Write

AddressOf PrintPageHandler

instead of

AddressOf Me.PrintPageHandler

I'm not that into VB.NET anymore, but as long as i know, a module was the kind of thing you can't create an instace of. It is more like a container.

You can only use Me if you are in a Claas
