This is really a design issue. To create a User Control that can be generic for multiple forms, simply create an interface and impliment it on each form that will use the User Control. Then when calling the method on the form inside of the User Control, cast to the interface. The interface method would then call the method on the form you want to fire.

CType(Me.FindForm(), MyInterface).MyMethod()

>>>>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:
