Is it possible to raise the events programatically.

You can only raise an event from within the class itself (or a derived
class).

If you have a common method that should be run both on the click of a
button and some other instance, then put all that code within a new method.
You can call that method from both the click event and your other method...

===================================
private void Button1_Click(...)
{
SharedClickLogic();
}
private void YourOtherMethod(...)
{
SharedClickLogic();
}
private void SharedClickLogic()
{
//do stuff here
}
===================================

Just call the name of the sub-routine in your code the way
you call any other sub, e.g.

call Button1_Click()

or

Button1_click

Ah, but now you have to pass the sender and eventArgs which you didn't
mention in your sample.

Button1_Click(null, null); //bad practice

Be careful with this route. Creating a new common method is more clear
(see my other post).
