Answer 1

You can use Process.Start to run a new process.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.start(VS.71).aspx for the docs.

Answer 2

You have to use the Process class of the System.Diagnostics namespace to start the second program, refer to this article on the MSDN,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process(VS.71).aspx

Answer 3

You can't access a form or a method of the other program. One reason is that it's a separate program, another reason is that it's not running.

What you can do is to start the other program:

Process.Start("TheOtherProgram.exe");
