Not very clear what you are up to. You can look to use events and public accessors if you want to 'communicate' between classes...

I'm not sure why you think that would be a good idea.
The only reason I can think of that you would want to do this, is if the method in form1 is going to display information from the connection - which means there are a couple of potential problems here:
If your connection is not using the same thread as the form1 instance, then any attempt to display information is going to fail, unless you use Invoke.
If your method relies on actually communicating via the connection, then it may not complete it's processing immediately - if it uses any blocking calls, then it will freeze the thread from which you are calling it - so if that comes from a different forms UI (a button click or similar, say) then it will lock that form up until it returns.
If it doesn't use blocking, then it will return - and you will close the connection - before processing if complete.

What are you trying to achieve, that you think this is a good solution? There may be a better, easier, way to do it.
