I'm just trying to find a way to keep everything encapsulated in one location. The form really has nothing to do with what I need to have happen when I click the button. I would like to keep all the code inside the button, but I don't like creating a class for a single use. I'm hoping someone has found a different solution.
In theory, I would like to keep it possible (even though I would never do it) to copy the button into the clipboard and paste it into another form. Just the way I prefer to program.
