i am able to do it when i am in that form's code page as follows, but i can not do that when i pass the form as a variable to another class.

form.designer.cs :

namespace WindowsApplication8
{
    partial class Form1
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }

        #region Windows Form Designer generated code

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.

        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            this.button2 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
            this.SuspendLayout();
            //

            //

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Button btn = new Button();
            btn.Text = "something";
            btn.Name = "abc";
            btn.Width = 100;
            btn.Height = 100;
            btn.Left = 200;
            btn.Top = 300;
            this.Controls.Add(btn);
            
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           Control[] btns = this.Controls.Find("abc", true);
           MessageBox.Show(((Button)btns[0]).Text);
        }
    }
}

this above works fine but i need the same thing using an external class file, i will post what i mean momentarily.

now i added one more button and a class file to show what i said, it worked however, i think there is a problem with my application since it is a mobile device application unlike the windows application here.

form1.designer.cs :

namespace WindowsApplication8
{
    partial class Form1
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Required designer variable.
        /// </summary>
        private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;

        /// <summary>
        /// Clean up any resources being used.

        /// <param name="disposing">true if managed resources should be disposed; otherwise, false.</param>
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            if (disposing && (components != null))
            {
                components.Dispose();
            }
            base.Dispose(disposing);
