Automatically starting the C# GUI

[lavu]

I have a C# app that I can use in Test mode by clicking a button which
reads data from a file for my test.
I would like to start the App from the command line and run the test
automatically without
the form waiting for the button click. So I tried to call the button
click event from
frmMain() but have no information for its paramteres , object sender
and eventargs e to pass into the click event.
btnTest_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

How can either fix this problem ?
Or
Is there an alternated method to do this ?

Any help is appreciated.

Move the code in the button's event handler to a function. Then simply call
this function from the event handler. This will allow to call this function
manually from frmMain() is you want to start the test at startup.

A better option would be to call PerformClick() on the button - however (re
your existing code) assuming that the handler doesn't do much with the args,
null and null might suffice? or this and EventArgs.Empty?

Thank you for your suggestions. As Marc's suggestions required less
code changes, I tried it first. ( this, Empty ) as params
to button click worked. (null,null) errored out for me. Learn't
something new, the PerformClick() method.
Thanks again.
