Accepted answer
Sorry, I misunderstood the question.

Try this instead:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button dynButton = new Button();
dynButton.Name = "dynButton";
dynButton.Location = new Point(50, 100); // say
dynButton.Size = new Size(160, 150); //say
dynButton.Text = "CLICK HERE!";
// set other button properties
this.Controls.Add(dynButton);

/* repeat code for creating textboxes and labels as often as needed */

TextBox dynTextBox = new TextBox();
dynTextBox.Name = "dynTextBox";
dynTextBox.Location = new Point(10, 10); // say
// set other textbox properties
dynButton.Controls.Add(dynTextBox);

Label dynLabel = new Label();
dynLabel.Name = "dynLabel";
dynLabel.Location = new Point(10, 110); // say
dynLabel.Text = "[Empty]";
// set other label properties
dynButton.Controls.Add(dynLabel);

// add handler for dynButton.Click event

dynButton.Click += (sender2, e2) =>
{
dynLabel.Text = dynTextBox.Text; // just for illustration
};

// create arrow button outside and to right of dynButton
Button arrowButton = new Button();
arrowButton.Name = "arrowButton";
arrowButton.Location = new Point(210, 100);
arrowButton.Size = new Size(30, 150); //say
arrowButton.Text = ">>";
// set other arrow button properties
this.Controls.Add(arrowButton);
}

Well, the 'standard' Windows Forms button is always rectangular and so, if you want an arrow shaped button, you'll need to use a custom control instead.

I found one here on Code Project which may fit the bill:

Try something like this:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button dynButton = new Button();
dynButton.Name = "dynButton";
dynButton.Location = new Point(100, 100); // say
dynButton.Text = "Click me";
// set other button properties
this.Controls.Add(dynButton);

Button arrowButton = new Button();
arrowButton.Name = "arrowButton";
arrowButton.Location = new Point(180, 100); // say
arrowButton.Text = ">";
// set other arrow button properties
this.Controls.Add(arrowButton);

dynButton.Click += (sender2, e2) =>
{
/* repeat as often as needed */

TextBox dynTextBox = new TextBox();
dynTextBox.Name = "dynTextBox";
dynTextBox.Location = new Point(100, 150); // say
// set other textbox properties
this.Controls.Add(dynTextBox);
Label dynLabel = new Label();
dynLabel.Name = "dynLabel";
dynLabel.Location = new Point(100, 200); // say
dynLabel.Text = "Whatever";
// set other label properties
this.Controls.Add(dynLabel);
};
}
