if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
            {
                button1.PerformClick();
                this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
            }
            else
            {
                button1.PerformClick();
            }

Answer 1

What I did in a similar situation in VB where PerformClick wasn't working if the form is minimized was I created a function and pasted all the button click code in that function. Then I simply call the function from the button click's code instead of using PerformClick.

Answer 2

I'd rather create a void than a click event, and i'd call it from the click event too

like this

public void clickedbutton1()
{
    //your code for buttonclick
}
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
    clickedbutton1();
    this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
}
else
}
    clickedbutton1();
}
private void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    clickedbutton1();
}

Answer 3

Best I can think of is doing something like this.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Application.DoEvents();
        }
