You only use RemoveHandler if you used AddHandler in the first place. It is completely unrelated to a Handles clause. The Handles clause follows the variable while AddHandler follows the object. What that means is that, when you use AddHandler, the event handler is attached to that object until the object is destroyed or RemoveHandler is executed while a Handles clause will always handle the specified event of the object that is currently assigned to the specified variable. Assign a new object to that variable and the the event handler sticks with the variable, thus handling the event of the new object.

If an application hangs then either it calls a method that never returns or or enters an infinite loop. I see no loop so I assume the former. Can you identify the line on which the unresponsive method is called?
