WPF Button_click event fires twice

I have one button on a form for which the onclick events fires twice. How do I fix this please?

XAML
<Window x:Class="WindowPurchaseChaser"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Purchase Chaser" Height="360" Width="444" Name="WindowPurchaseChaser">
    <Grid>
		<Label Height="28" Margin="64,13,0,0" Name="lblDateStart" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="120" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center">Start Date</Label>
		<Label Height="28" Margin="0,13,55,0" Name="lblDateEnd" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="120" HorizontalContentAlignment="Center">End Date</Label>
		<TextBox Height="23" Margin="64,52,0,0" Name="txtbDateStart" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="120" IsReadOnly="True"/>
		<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,52,55,0" Name="txtbDateEnd" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" />
		<Button Click="btnStart_Click" Margin="178,89,169,0" Name="btnStart" Height="22" VerticalAlignment="Top">Start</Button>
		<TextBox Margin="34,118,37,56" Name="txtProgress" BorderBrush="AliceBlue" />
	</Grid>
</Window>

VB
Private Sub btnStart_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click

does this happen on a laptop touchpad or with a normal mouse? i have the same problom on one of my apps. and it was a rare problem. also check the options on the buttons click mode. i belive the default is relesed but that may help. hope this is of use to you.

Hi,

could this be because you're assigning the click handler in Xaml and again in code by adding the 'Handles btnStart.Click' at the end of your handler declaration?

Event handler in xaml and vb. Removed the xaml event and all works as expected. Thanks.
