Below is an example that demonstrates how to create a simple Windows Forms application with a Form Load event and a Button Click event.

Open your Visual Studio, then click New Project, then select Visual C# on the left, then Windows and then select Windows Forms Application. Name your project "FormLoadAndButtonClick" and then click OK

In the designer view, Drag and drop the Label, Button controls from the Toolbox onto the form, you can design your form as shown below.

        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
