The "proper" way to do this is to define an event in the button and bubble it up to the usercontrol. Then the usercontrol bubbles the event to the parent container.

>Me. on a form will reference that form. That includes events of controls, since the event simply calls up to form methods. So Me.MyMethod() or whatever should do it.

>>I have a usercontrol that contains a button. I want to place this button on several different forms. When the button is pressed I want the logic to check to see if a method exist on the form containing the usercontrol called "ABC". If so execute it.
