How to perform Click-Event on a hidden button

In my C# form I have two buttons

button1.Hide()
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 button1.PerformClick();
}

The button1 is hidden at form loading, I want the logic behind button1 to be perfomed when it's hidden too.

If your Button is hidden, it seems that you need the functionality behind not or just in special cases. Keeping functionality out of events is often a simple solution to avoid problems in the future.

    private void btn_Reload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    { 
      // reload here - maybe you reload all your employees from a datasource
    }

    private void btn_Reload_With_Calculation_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      // you can use functionality here from a another button and call the 
      btn_Reload_Click(this, EventArgs.Empty); // DON'T DO THIS IN MY OPINION
      // ....
    }

Maybe this solution is better even if you need the functionality at other workflows.

    private void btn_Reload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Reload();
    }

    private void btn_Reload_With_Calculation_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      Reload();
      Calculate();
    }

    void Reload() { }

    void Calculate() { }

Just let the function outside become another function, then you can call function although you hidden the button1.

private void button1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  _button1();
}
private void button2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  _button1();
}

//Here is the function
void _button1()
{
    ...
}
