My code is...

1.// Main Form (FrmMain.cs)

C#

public void navBarControl1_LinkClicked(object sender, DevExpress.XtraNavBar.NavBarLinkEventArgs e)
        {
            string menu = "";
            if (e.Link.Caption.ToString().ToUpper() != "")
            {
                menu = e.Link.Caption.ToString().ToUpper();
            }
            Show(menu);
        }

C#

private void Show(string mnu)
{
 SamplesList sample = new SamplesList();
  this.maincontainer.Controls.Clear();
  maincontainer.Controls.Add(sample );
}

C#

public void PerformRefresh()
{
SamplesList sample = new SamplesList();
this.maincontainer.Controls.Clear(); 
maincontainer.Controls.Add(sample );                        

}

2.//User Control(SampleList.cs)

C#

public SamplesList()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           refreshSamplesData();
   }

public void refreshSamplesData()
       {

           DataSet ds = new DataSet();
           DataTable dt = new DataTable();
           ds = logic.getFormData("GetSamplesData");
           dt = ds.Tables[0];
           BindingSource bsBindingSource = new BindingSource();
           bsBindingSource.DataSource = dt;
           navGridCompany.BindingSource = bsBindingSource;
           gridControl1.DataSource = bsBindingSource;

       }

private void btnNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
               Form2 frm = new Form2();
               frm.Show();

       }

3.// Form2(Form2..cs)

string strmode;
private void btnClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
                if (strmode == "strnew")
                {
                    frmMain frm = new frmMain();
                    frm.PerformRefresh();

You have to use the current object of your frmForm class and not to create a new one, so in order to communicate between two forms objects you should do the next steps:

1.Your main form fromMain class have to implement an interface like the next one:

C#

public interface IMyForm
{
  void PerformRefresh();
}

class frmMain : Form, IMyForm
{
//...
}

2.Then in the Form2 class add a property of type IMyForm and use it in Close event:

C#

class Form2 : Form
{
 public IMyForm MainForm{get;set;}
//...

private void btnClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 if (strmode == "strnew")
 {
  this.MainForm.PerformRefresh();
 }
}
//...
}

3.Finally in your main form when the Form2 object is created you must set its new property like below:

C#

private void btnNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.MainForm = this;  //This is line is new!
frm.Show();

}

add these global variable and property to form1

C#

string strmode = string.Empty;

      public string Strmode
      {
          get { return strmode; }
          set { strmode = value; }
      }

remove code u posted in ur question above in close click

C#

private void btnClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ///from ur previous code " if (strmode == "strnew")"  i am assuming strmode has value "strnew" .no extra code needed here
        }

add these global variable and property to form2

C#

string strmode = string.Empty;

       public string Strmode
       {
           get { return strmode; }
           set { strmode = value; }
       }

replace btnNew click code to this

C#

private void btnNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 frm = new Form2();
            frm.Show();
            strmode = frm.Strmode;
            if (strmode == "strnew")
            {
                PerformRefresh();
            }

        }
