Anyone knows how to create an event in VB.NET?

I already know how to use the AddHandler and RemoveHandler instructions. But I only know how use them on events that already exist within Windows, such as the DataReceived event in a serial port.

My question is, how do I create an event that will call a routine the moment a variable that was previously false becomes true? The purpose being running another code thread without stopping the currently running one.

It seems that the concept of Multithreaded Applications also applies to what I want to accomplish. Many thanks!
