using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication4

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Player p1 = new Player();

p1.Hide();

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

public Boolean button1Visible

{

get { return this.button1.Visible; }

set { this.button1.Visible = value; }

}

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication4

{

class Player

{

public void Hide()

{

Form1 frm1 = new Form1();

Thanks Frogleg and Krishna. The static form was the key I was looking for.

You need a static form:(One instance only) Krishna's way creates a new form 1
public static Form1 Fm1 = null;
Player p1 = new Player();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Fm1=this;
}
public Boolean button1Visible
{
get { return this.button1.Visible; }
set { this.button1.Visible = value; }
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
p1.Hide();
}
class Player
{
public void Hide()
{

Form1.Fm1.button1Visible = false;
}
}

   class Player

   {

   public void Hide()

   {

   Form1 frm1 = new Form1();

   frm1.button1Visible = false;//you are passing true here

         }

   }

}
