  Hi,

  Based on my understanding, you want to know if there is a method similar with FindControl in Winform just as ASP.NET does.

  If I misunderstood, please feel free let me know.

  I think we can use the Find method of Controls collection.
  e.g.
  {
  Control[] ctls = this.Controls.Find("Button2", true);
  if (ctls.Length > 0)
  {
  Button btn = ctls[0] as Button;
  if (btn != null)
  btn.PerformClick();
  }
  else
  MessageBox.Show("Not Found");
  }

  private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
  MessageBox.Show("Button2 Clicked");
  }

  If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.

  Best regards,
  Peter Huang

  Yes, that would be it! Thanks :)
  
  In ASP.NET the FindControl() method is a property of the Page class, where as it seems here that the Find() method must be called from the Controls collection.
  
  Thanks for your help.
