If you declared static methods, then you should call them via parent form’s class name:

YourParentFormType.YourStaticMethod();

If you want to use instance methods, then you should declare them as public and call via casting MDI parent reference:

((YourParentFormType)this.MdiParent).YourInstanceMethod();
