you are trying to call an instruction (cVerifone1.Send) but you are outside a method, you are at the class level.

you need to create method that will wrap that call.

Do you think we are human compilers?

But obviously: You cannot execute code outside of a method.

Did this and it still  needs a declaration on the marked line
Public Class FINDEMPPINEventArgs

    Inherits System.EventArgs
    Public Property sender As Sender = New Sender

you cannot have code just like this outside method. A class is just like any other file you would have in .Net.

You must move it into a method...

Public Class Sender
    Public Property FINDEMPPIN As FINDEMPPINEventArgs = New FINDEMPPINEventArgs()
    Public Shared Event Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FINDEMPPINEventArgs)
    Protected Overridable Sub OnStart(ByVal e As FINDEMPPINEventArgs)
        RaiseEvent Start(Me, e)
    End Sub

    Dim cVerifone1 = New cVerifone()

    Public Sub MyNewMagicMethod()
        FINDEMPPIN.callToStart() <--------------------------------------------------------------------HERE FINDEMPPIN
    End Sub

    Public Sub gostart()
        Dim maiform = New MainForm()
        MainForm.Send("Pin EMP_PIN", "<STX>XEVT<FS>0<FS>", "ControlID", "<FS>ON_KEYPRESS<FS>1<ETX>")
    End Sub

End Class

btw, a Dim on class level makes also not that much sense. And gostart is really uninformative name for a method. A good method name is a speaking one. Normally like in natural languages: VerbSubjectObject().
