You could create EventArgs like any other object
new EventArgs();

new MouseEventArgs() { Button=MouseButtons.Left,Location = new Point(33,10)}

Just use the PerformClick() method of the Button you want to click...

Ravi Vaddadi

I suggested on how you could create EventArgs and MouseEventArgs. You cannot use the lines as is.

I agree with Idle_mind that you are better off using PerformClick() method of the button.
