How to run code only if button was clicked in another form

I created a new form with buttons labeled as "OK" and "Cancel" This form pops up by clicking a button from the first form. I'd like to run some code only if the "OK" button was clicked in the new custom form. This is not a MessageBox().

So far I have something like this:

CustomForm c = new CustomForm();
DialogResult r = c.DialogResult;

c.ShowDialog();

if (r == DialogResult.OK)
{
    //Run code
}

This however isn't working. How do I code this properly? I also set the "OK" button as the AcceptButton in CustomForm.

You have mentioned that they are two buttons, then better you can use button click event of OK button to perform your operation. This may be correct, if I have understand your question..//

You need to show the dialog before you access the result. Right now you are creating the dialog, storing the value in a variable, and then allowing the user to change the result of the dialog. This does not change the value stored in your variable.

Perhaps prefer compacting it like so:

CustomForm c = new CustomForm();

if (c.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
    // run code
}

Also, remember you have to set the DialogResult of the button on the other form to be OK:

DialogResult Property

DialogResult is an enum. As such, it is copied by value.. not by reference.
