Button click event clicking exe

Question

I have simple Windows form With just one button which Calls one url

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ProcessStartInfo sInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("http://myurl.com/");
    Process.Start(sInfo);
}

When i click exe then it shows button and then i have to click button to perform action. Is it possible to call button click event automatically on clicking exe.

Put that method in your `Form Shown` event, or call `button1.PerformClick();` — Equalsk, Feb 10 '16 at 13:32
Well, why do you need this button in this case at all? Just move this code to the `Main` function. — Andrey Korneyev, Feb 10 '16 at 13:33

You can do the same with Form.Load event. Just refactor you code with extract method to have no duplicated code and call your function in both event handlers:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    OpenUrl();
}

private void form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    OpenUrl();
}

private void OpenUrl()
{
    ProcessStartInfo sInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("http://myurl.com/");
    Process.Start(sInfo);
}

This is the better answer as it splits the functionality into a well named function. – Steve Feb 10 '16 at 13:41
But this still opens the form which is not i want – James Feb 10 '16 at 13:44
Just click exe and call url thats it – James Feb 10 '16 at 13:44
ok got it.. i just deleted form1 and wrote it in main function – James Feb 10 '16 at 13:46
@Happy you can write console application instead of Windows forms app and [hide it](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3571627/show-hide-the-console-window-of-a-c-sharp-console-application) or just wait while it will closed (immediately after `Main()` function executes). – Vadim Martynov Feb 10 '16 at 13:51

Simply call:

button1_Click(this, null);

from anywhere in your code.
