Welcome to TSDN. One problem you have appear to have is with referencing. Have a think about it not working and showing no errors. Is this the case?

Well for starters:

Button2_clickevent
{ 
mainform1 obj = new mainform1();
obj.tabcontrol1.tabpages.remove(tabpage1);
}

You are creating a NEW instance of the mainform1 class, not editing an existing one. So you will not see anything happening and there will probably not be any errors. (Either that function does not error when that tab doesn't exist, or it already does)

The original reply suggesting you think on why your references are wrong is correct.
