Dynamic button click event not able to call a function vb.net

Question

The TabLoad() function doesn't seem to be working on clicking of this dynamic button. The aim of this button click event is that it deletes text from a text file and loads the form again.

Below is the complete code. The TabLoad() function is in the NextDelbtn_Click sub at the end.

Also any suggestion regarding change of code is appreciated.

Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
    Dim str As String
    Dim FILE_NAME As String = "D:\1.txt"
    Dim file_exists As Boolean = File.Exists(FILE_NAME)

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
            MsgBox("Please enter text that you want to save", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "TOCC Error")
        Else
            str = TextBox1.Text
            Dim fs As FileStream = Nothing
            If (Not File.Exists(FILE_NAME)) Then
                fs = File.Create(FILE_NAME)
                Using fs
                End Using
            End If
            If File.Exists(FILE_NAME) Then
                Dim sw As StreamWriter
                sw = File.AppendText(FILE_NAME)
                sw.WriteLine(str)
                sw.Flush()
                sw.Close()
                TabLoad()
                TextBox1.Text = ""
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        TabControl1.SelectedIndex = TabControl1.TabIndex + 1
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        TabLoad()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Nextbtn_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
        Dim s As String = DirectCast(DirectCast(sender, Button).Tag, Label).Text

            NextDelbtn.Location = New Point(180, 10 * i + ((i - 1) * NextDelbtn.Height))
            AddHandler Nextbtn.Click, AddressOf Me.Nextbtn_Click
            AddHandler NextDelbtn.Click, AddressOf Me.NextDelbtn_Click
            i += 1

                   File.ReadAllLines(FILE_NAME).Where(Function(y) y <> String.Empty))
    End Sub

        Using sw As New IO.StreamWriter(FILE_NAME)
            For Each line As String In lines

            sw.Flush()
            sw.Close()

            TabLoad()
        End Using
    End Sub

End Class

Your problem appears to be that you're initializing new controls but you're not changing the controls on the form or even creating a new form.
