I'm trying to work out how to capture a Pin.ValueChanged event in VB.NET.
I have a PIR switch attached to GPIO Pin #21 on my raspberry Pi 3B. When PIR movement is detected it goes high to 3.3v and when no movement is detected for a set time it goes low.

I want the app to turn on a LED tied to GPIO Pin #26 when the PIR detects movement and goes high and off when it goes low.

I have seen some VB.NET examples that use a timer to check every second or so to see if the pin is high or low which I have tried and the circuit does work but its easy to miss events with a timer. I would like to use an event handler in VB.NET.

In my google searches all I can find is C# examples using a lines similar to this one.

buttonPin.ValueChanged += buttonPin_ValueChanged;

Then the procedure to do something if the event happened.

private void buttonPin_ValueChanged(GpioPin sender, GpioPinValueChangedEventArgs e)
{
    // toggle the state of the LED every time the button is pressed
    // Code removed
}

But I have no idea on how to convert this to VB.NET. All the conversion websites create incorrect code in VB.for the line -

buttonPin.ValueChanged += buttonPin_ValueChanged;

What I have tried:

I tried the following VB.NET code but got an error.

AddHandler PIR_Pin.ValueChanged, AddressOf test

Private Sub test(ByVal sender As GpioPin, ByVal args As GpioPinValueChangedEventArgs)
    If PIR_Pin.Read = GpioPinValue.High Then
        LED_Pin.Write(GpioPinValue.High)
    Else
        LED_Pin.Write(GpioPinValue.Low)
    End If
End Sub

This is the error I get in VS 2017

System.ArgumentException
  HResult=0x80070057
  Message=Delegate to an instance method cannot have null 'this'.
  Source=System.Private.CoreLib
  StackTrace:

   at PIR_Test.MainPage..ctor() in C:\Users\Richard\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\Raspberry Pi Tests\PIR Test\MainPage.xaml.vb:line 22

Can someone shed any light on how to get the event trigger in VB.NET for a GPIO pin on a Raspberry Pi running Windows 10 core IOT.

Thanks in advance.
