Send left mouse to click handler from code?

I have the following mouseclick event:

public static void ni_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    // Handle mouse button clicks.
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
    {
        //do stuff
    }
}

This is usually triggered by clicking the icon in the systray with a left click,

I would like to also call this same event from another event, I have tried something like:

myproject.ProcessIcon.ni_MouseClick(sender, mousebutton.left);

but obviously I'm not sure how to send the left button object correctly (if possible).

simply change your code as below :- 

ni_MouseClick(sender, new MouseEventArgs(MouseButtons.Left, 0, 0, 0, 0);

But you need to think and implement as per Ash's answer he has better solution.

Any operation which can be triggered by user interaction (click), can obviously be triggered by other code.

put any functionality which should be performed more than once in a separate method and invoke that method from different places in code:

public static void DoStuff()
{
}

private void ni_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    // Handle mouse button clicks.
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
    {
        DoStuff();
    }
}

myproject.ProcessIcon.DoStuff();

You have to call the method within your second method. Something like:

public void SecondMethod(object sender, Args e){
    ni_MouseClick(sender, e);
}
