I have a user control (inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl)
with a button on it. I've added the control to the toolbox and have dragged
it onto a form from another project.

How can I capture the click event of the button in the parent form?
Currently nothing happens when I click the button.

Any help is appreciated,

Jay

One way would be to write an event in your usercontrol and fire that
event when the button in the user control is clicked.

public event EventHandler ButtonClicked;

public void button_click(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
    if(Butonclicked != null)
    {
        Buttonclicked(sender,e);
    }
}
