calling form load on another form

If you just want to call Form_Load to run the code in it again rather than reloading the form (which is already open), you can do it like this:

1. Manually change the access of the Form2_Load method from 'private' to 'internal'.

2. Run the following code from the other form's button click handler:

Form2 f2 = (Form2)Applicatication.OpenForms["Form2"];

f2.Form2_Load(f2, EventArgs.Empty);
