Solution 3

Provide a public accessor on the form you want the click operation performed, then call this from the other form.

e.g.
Form 1 (The one with the button)

C#

Public void doClick()
{
   buttonXYZ.performClick();
}

Form 2

C#

form1.doClick();

You obviously need to have an object reference already active within form 2

Solution 1

Instead of simulating a button click, it would be much better to perform the action that the button's click handler would otherwise have done.

Solution 2

First you will need a reference to the button of form2 in form1.
Then you can simply do _myButton_Event(null,null).
