How to use a dynamic forms names in a class (C#.Net)

I had long time developing windows applications using VB.NET and one of thing that I was always use is:

Class (Test) and inside it there are some subs like the following:

VB.NET Code

 Friend Sub FLoadKeyLock(ByVal FRMNAME As Object)
        FRMNAME.Button3.Enabled = true;
        FRMNAME.Button4.Enabled = true;
        FRMNAME.Button1.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button2.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button5.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button6.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button7.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button8.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button9.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button10.Enabled = false;
 End Sub

Where FRMNAME refers to forms name that I send from different forms and I use (me) keyword to send current form name to apply that sub.

That was totally works fine in VB.NET but I cannot use it the same way in C#.NET.

C#.NET Code

 internal void FLoadKeyLock (Form FRMNAME)
    {
        FRMNAME.Button3.Enabled = true;
        FRMNAME.Button4.Enabled = true;
        FRMNAME.Button1.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button2.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button5.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button6.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button7.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button8.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button9.Enabled = false;
        FRMNAME.Button10.Enabled = false;
    }

The Error is: System.Windows.Forms.Form' does not contain a definition for 'Button3' and no extension method 'Button3' accepting a first argument of type

And same error for all used buttons.

So I have two questions:

1 - How to use such a function in C#.NET?

2 - Why it's not working the same way as VB.NET?

As @Maarten said. dynamic has solved my problem

internal void FLoadKeyLock (dynamic FRMNAME)
{
    FRMNAME.Button3.Enabled = true;
    FRMNAME.Button4.Enabled = true;
    FRMNAME.Button1.Enabled = false;
    FRMNAME.Button2.Enabled = false;
    FRMNAME.Button5.Enabled = false;
    FRMNAME.Button6.Enabled = false;
    FRMNAME.Button7.Enabled = false;
    FRMNAME.Button8.Enabled = false;
    FRMNAME.Button9.Enabled = false;
    FRMNAME.Button10.Enabled = false;
}
