Hello,

the Timer requires an EventArgs called 'e'.
You dont have an objekt with the name 'e'.

You can call the Method like this:

timer1_Tick(this, EventArgs.Empty);

Yes, don't try to pass something that does not exist. If you can't work out that the error is correct, then I am at a loss what it is you think you're doing with a compiler.

EventArgs.Empty is what you'd use if you need event args and don't have any, as is clearly the case here. A real programmer would factor out the method that does something, and call it in your timer tick, rather than call a timer tick to do something, but that's another story.
