Get dynamic UserControl tag name VB.NET

Problem: I'm trying to get the tag name of a dynamically created user control through the button inside that created control.screenshot to understand

I have tried the following code to get the tag name:

Private Sub DownloadViewDelClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim i As Integer = downloadContainer.Controls.Count - 1
    While i >= 0
        If downloadContainer.Controls(i).Tag = sender Then
            MsgBox(downloadContainer.Controls(i).Tag)
        End If
        i -= 1
    End While
End Sub

The following code for creating the dynamic controls:

 Sub create_download_list()
    Dim counter As Integer = 0
    Dim downloadview As New videoviewcontrol
    For Each link As String In downloadList
        AddHandler downloadview.btnDel.Click, AddressOf Me.DownloadViewDelClick
        downloadview.Tag = "downloadview" & counter
        downloadview.TextBox1.Text = link
        downloadContainer.Controls.Add(downloadview)
        counter += 1
    Next
End Sub

When I run the application and click on the trash can button on any dynamic control, I get the following error:

 System.InvalidCastException
  HResult=0x80004002
  Message=Overload resolution failed because no Public '=' can be called with these arguments:
    'Public Shared Operator =(a As String, b As String) As Boolean':
        Argument matching parameter 'b' cannot convert from 'Button' to 'String'.

The following is the $exception value in 'locals' tab in the output trace window:

+       $exception  {"Overload resolution failed because no Public '=' can be called with these arguments:" & vbCrLf & "    'Public Shared Operator =(a As String, b As String) As Boolean':" & vbCrLf & "        Argument matching parameter 'b' cannot convert from 'Button' to 'String'."}   System.InvalidCastException

I tried to understand this issue but the exceptions value above reads the cannot convert button 'b' to string and I don't have any button named 'b' anywhere. I would appreciate a solution. Sorry for the noob question.. Thank you!
