How to call Form from another solution's project

For example, I've got Solution1 with WinFormProject1 and simple Form1 with one Open button, and I want when this button is clicked , to open Solution2 WinFormProject2 Form1.

How can I accomplish this ? Thank you!

You need to add the Assembly containing Form1 from Solution2 as an external Reference in the WinFormProject1, as Ron Beyer said.

The assembly will be copied to the directory of WinFormProject1 and you will be able to use WinFormProject2.Form1 from your code. Note that since it will be copied there will be no synchronization between the two solutions, and you will need to manually update the copy of the Assembly containing WinFormProject2.Form1 into Solution1, if needed.

There is no way of doing that while keeping the two in sync and in two separate solutions, you must choose one or the other.
