Visual Basic
Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    ' If myVar is an even number, click Button2.
    If myVar Mod 2 = 0 Then
        button2.PerformClick()
        ' Display the status of Button2's Click event.
        MessageBox.Show("button2 was clicked ")
    Else
        ' Display the status of Button2's Click event.
        MessageBox.Show("button2 was NOT clicked")
    End If
    ' Increment myVar.   
    myVar = myVar + 1
End Sub 'button1_Click
C#
private void button1_Click (Object sender, 
                               EventArgs e)
 {
    // If myVar is an even number, click Button2.
    if(myVar %2 == 0)
    {
       button2.PerformClick();
       // Display the status of Button2's Click event.
       MessageBox.Show("button2 was clicked ");
    }
    else
    {
       // Display the status of Button2's Click event.
       MessageBox.Show("button2 was NOT clicked");
    }
    // Increment myVar.   
    myVar = myVar + 1;
 }
