Handles vs. Overrides

[YYZ]

I have a usercontrol that I want to paint myself. What is the
difference between these 2 methods of handling the painting?

Private Sub ucLoanDisplay_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Paint

vs.

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)

I think I'm missing something big here in understanding .Net.

Thanks!

Handles is used to tell .NET that you want this sub to handle a particular
event, in your case the Paint event.

Overrides in this case replaces the default functionality of the Paint event
for the control.

[Handling an event or overrinding 'On*']

To Override Or To Handle?

And that explains it perfectly. Thanks so much!
