Triggering a button click through code

Question

So I have the following code for when the "Add player" button is clicked

private void addPlayerBtn_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Do some code
}

I want to trigger this code from my SDK however. Here is what I have tried

private void command()
{       
    addPlayerBtn_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e);          
}

I get lots of errors as soon as I put in the line

 addPlayerBtn_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e) 

Could somebody please tell me how to write the code so that I can trigger an event by just writting it in code?

Answer 1

For one, when calling a method, you don't declare the type of the parameter, just the value.

So this:

addPlayerBtn_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e);

Should be

addPlayerBtn_Click_1(sender, e);

Now, you'll have to declare sender and e. These can be actual objects, if you have event args to pass, or:

addPlayerBtn_Click_1(null, EventArgs.Empty);

The above can be used in either WinForms or ASP.NET. In the case of WinForms, you can also call:

addPlayerBtn.PerformClick();

Answer 2

When you call a function, you provide actual arguments, which are values, not formal arguments, which are types and parameter names.

Change

addPlayerBtn_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e);

to

addPlayerBtn_Click_1(addPlayerBtn, EventArgs.Empty);
