the error is here

Private ButtonValue1;
Private ButtonValue2;
Private ButtonValue3;
Private ButtonValue4;
Private ButtonValue5;
Private ButtonValue6;
Private ButtonValue7;
Private ButtonValue8;
Private ButtonValue9;

replace it with:

Private Button Value1;
Private Button Value2;
Private Button Value3;
Private Button Value4;
Private Button Value5;
Private Button Value6;
Private Button Value7;
Private Button Value8;
Private Button Value9;

hope it hepls.

Or if your ButtonValue1 is the name of the variable the you should do lik this:

private Button ButtonValue1;
.....
