Question

I need to create 5 buttons dynamically on windows form and each button should respond to click event. I tried it but all buttons are responding to same event.

This is what Nick is talking about are your two options (You should be able to run this code and see both options):

  public Form1()
  {
     InitializeComponent();

     for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
     {
        Button button = new Button();
        button.Location = new Point(20, 30 * i + 10);
        switch (i)
        {
           case 0:
              button.Click += new EventHandler(ButtonClick);
              break;
           case 1:
              button.Click += new EventHandler(ButtonClick2);
              break;
           //...
        }
        this.Controls.Add(button);
     }

     for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
     {
        Button button = new Button();
        button.Location = new Point(160, 30 * i + 10);
        button.Click += new EventHandler(ButtonClickOneEvent);
        button.Tag = i;
        this.Controls.Add(button);
     }
  }

  void ButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     // First Button Clicked
  }
  void ButtonClick2(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     // Second Button Clicked
  }

  void ButtonClickOneEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     Button button = sender as Button;
     if (button != null)
     {
        // now you know the button that was clicked
        switch ((int)button.Tag)
        {
           case 0:
              // First Button Clicked
              break;
           case 1:
              // Second Button Clicked
              break;
           // ...
        }
     }
  }
