>I'm missing some major connection here. There are a few commands, such as WriteMethod, that according to the documentation are available only at design time. Sure enough, if I try to use it at runtime, it returns an error. In this example, I'm adding a command button to a form on the fly, and I want the Click event of the new button to call the Click event of an existing control.

why not create your new command button from a class you've built that has the desired method? if you can do that, you don't need to use writemethod...
