I have a parent form. I am calling child form from parent form. Can i inherit child from parent at runtime?

AFAIK no.

Any special reason to do inheritance at the run-time and not in the design mode? What would you like to inherit from the parent form (there might be other solution than inheritance)?

Actually I have 2 different applications. Application1 has different theme than Application2. I m calling a form of Application2 in Application1 using reflection. I want to set theme of form of Application2 same as Application1. Is it possible? if yes then how?

Not sure what you mean with the "theme". If you mean form's properties, like BackColor or Font, use reflection to set those properties just like you call "inherited" form's Show method. If the "theme" is something else, I would add a public SetTheme method to forms and pass the "theme" object as an argument to that method. That is, if the "theme" is an object or can be converted (serialize) to an object.
