Assuming you want it with button click:

First add InteropServices namespace:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

then create your button click event

[DllImport("User32.Dll")]
public static extern long SetCursorPos(int x, int y);
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    SetCursorPos(50,50);
}

Take a look at this:

Drag a button on to the form and double click.

then you should get a code behind.

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Cursor.Position = new Point(50, 50);
        }
    }
}

once you click the button the function - button1_Click fires and moves your cursor. Perhaps write here what you want to do exactly, i suspect you will need a loop

ALSO

this might help in your endevours.

  Cursor.Position = 
new Point(Form1.MousePosition.X + 50, Form1.MousePosition.Y + 50);

Form1.MousePosition is the current position of the mouse on the form.

so the code above would move the mouse 50 units right and 50 units down from its current position.

Also theres a form1_load event, double click the form and use that.
