I'm trying to create a pointer to a class in form1.h button1 event
handler. It should be simple... but no. This example is as simple as I
can make:

Form1.h (produced with the designer containing a single button)

            this->button1->Size = System::Drawing::Size(104, 32);
            this->button1->TabIndex = 0;
            this->button1->Text = L"button1";
            this->button1->UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;
            this->button1->Click += gcnew System::EventHandler(this,

            this->Controls->Add(this->button1);
            this->Name = L"Form1";

            this->ResumeLayout(false);

        }

At the end here, I want to have the event handler for button 1 execute
MyMethod();

MyClass.h Produced by adding a C++ class

#pragma once

ref class MyClass

public:
    MyClass(void);
    static void MyMethod(void);
};

MyClass.cpp

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include "MyClass.h"
#include "Form1.h"

using namespace MyProject;

MyClass::MyClass(void)
{
}
void MyClass::MyMethod()
{
}
***************************************************
MyProject.cpp

// MyProject.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"

using namespace MyProject;

[STAThreadAttribute]
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
    // Enabling Windows XP visual effects before any controls are created
    Application::EnableVisualStyles();
    Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

    // Create the main window and run it
    Application::Run(gcnew Form1());
    return 0;
}
************************************************************

I don't want to have to put all my executable code in Form1.h
I want to have separate files for unrelated classes and call them from
various event handlers.
The way the files are as shown I get LNK2020 unresolved token.
If I pull the #include "MyClass.h" from Form1.h I get error C2065
undeclared identifier.

I'm fit to be tied. I've spent hours searching for an answer and it
seems to be a common problem world-wide with no resolution. I've tried
all the old fashioned ways too. MyClass* pMyClass = new MyClass();
etc.

Anybody able to help?
TIA
