This is off the top of my head, don't have .NET near me...

in your initialisation....

IForm2 fm2 = null;
frm1.button1.Click += new EventHandler(my_button_click());

private void my_button_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

And doesn't take into account if the form is already showing.

This isn't the cleanest way to do navigation, if it's just a small project it is okay, but larger ones you need to look into Routing and commands.

in your initialisation....

IForm2 fm2 = ;
frm1.button1.Click += new EventHandler(my_button_click());

private void my_button_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
fm2.Show();
}

TRy this:
Open a new forms application and fill in some code from what you see here:

namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        Button ShowBtn; // declare a button
        Form MyForm2;  // declare a Form

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // initialize a button
            ShowBtn = new Button();
            ShowBtn.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(100, 100);
            ShowBtn.Name = "Showit";
            ShowBtn.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
            ShowBtn.Text = "Show form";
            ShowBtn.Click += new System.EventHandler(MyShowFormButton_Click);

            this.Controls.Add(ShowBtn); //add button to controlscollection of the form
        }

        private void MyShowFormButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // initialize a second form
            MyForm2 = new Form();
            MyForm2.Show();
        }
    }
}
