See more:

we call button click event handler as

C#

this.SignButton_Click( sender, e );

similarly how do we call click event handler of LinkLabel control.
If it is called like this

C#

this.signPathLinkLbl_LinkClicked(sender, e);

it throws error as
Argument 2: cannot convert from 'System.EventArgs' to 'System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs'

The declaration of your signPathLinkLbl_LinkClicked method should be:

C#

private void signPathLinkLbl_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkClickedEventArgs e) {
   // Good one
}

instead of

C#

private void signPathLinkLbl_LinkClicked(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   // Bad one
}

Of course, you have to wire the event of your control to the event handler; in the designer file, there should be a line:

C#

this.signPathLinkLbl.LinkClicked += this.signPathLinkLbl_LinkClicked;

seems you need a little workaround here

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {

           LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs ex = new LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs(linkLabel1.Links[0]);
           linkLabel1_LinkClicked(sender, ex);
       }

       private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
       {
           MessageBox.Show("link clicked");
       }

this is just a sample do a little workaround on it
