To call a method on your form that hosts the UserControl, you use the FindForm method of the UserControl. You need to cast the Form to the specific class of the form that is hosting the control. In the control inside the UserControl you reference a method on the form like:

CType(Me.FindForm(), MyForm).MyButton.PerformClick()
