Solution 2

Or, cleaner than Answer 1:

OtherFormCodeBehindName.ButtonName.PerformClick();

and make the Button public or internal as needed.

can you capture the eventargs this way?

Of course not! I don't need them, since for Button.Click it's always EventArgs.Empty. Always! So, you would better correct your flawed vote.

Solution 3

Actually its not the right kind of thing to do to activate some button from other form!

try to use classes by creating a class which will perform the required operation that you want.

any way you can use this way-

dim of as new OtherForm
of.YourButton.content="Hello!"

OtherForm of = new Form();
of.Yourbutton.content = "Hello!";

C# version of above as this is tagged c#
