下面是一个使用泛型的演示（省略了错误检查）：

using System;
using System.Reflection;
static class Program {
  private class Sub {
    public event EventHandler<EventArgs> SomethingHappening;
  }
  internal static void Raise<TEventArgs>(this object source, string eventName, TEventArgs eventArgs) where TEventArgs : EventArgs
  {
    var eventDelegate = (MulticastDelegate)source.GetType().GetField(eventName, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(source);
    if (eventDelegate != null)
    {
      foreach (var handler in eventDelegate.GetInvocationList())
      {
        handler.Method.Invoke(handler.Target, new object[] { source, eventArgs });
      }
    }
  }
  public static void Main()
  {
    var p = new Sub();
    p.Raise("SomethingHappening", EventArgs.Empty);
    p.SomethingHappening += (o, e) => Console.WriteLine("Foo!");
    p.Raise("SomethingHappening", EventArgs.Empty);
    p.SomethingHappening += (o, e) => Console.WriteLine("Bar!");
    p.Raise("SomethingHappening", EventArgs.Empty);
    Console.ReadLine();
  }
}

一般来说，你不能这样做。可以把事件看作基本上是一对AddHandler/RemoveHandler方法（因为这就是它们的本质）。如何实现它们取决于类。大多数WinForms控件使用EventHandlerList作为它们的实现，但是如果你的代码开始获取私有字段和键，它将非常脆弱。
ButtonEdit控件是否公开了可以调用的OnClick方法？
脚注：事实上，事件 * 可以 * 有“raise”成员，因此EventInfo.GetRaiseMethod。然而，这从来没有被C#填充过，我也不相信它在框架中。

你通常不能引发另一个类的事件。事件实际上是作为一个私有的委托字段存储的，外加两个访问器（add_event和remove_event）。
要通过反射来实现这一点，只需找到私有委托字段，获取它，然后调用它。

I wrote an extension to classes, which implements INotifyPropertyChanged to inject the RaisePropertyChange method, so I can use it like this:

this.RaisePropertyChanged(() => MyProperty);

而不在任何基类中实现该方法。对于我的使用来说，它很慢，但也许源代码可以帮助一些人。

我删除了原始代码的一些部分，所以扩展应该可以正常工作，没有引用我的库的其他部分。
有些代码是从别人那里借来的。真丢人，我忘了是从哪里得到的

从 Raising an event via reflection 中，尽管我认为VB.NET中的答案，也就是说，在这篇文章之前的两篇文章将为您提供通用方法（例如，我将从VB.NET的一篇文章中寻找引用不在同一个类中的类型的灵感）：

public event EventHandler<EventArgs> MyEventToBeFired;

    public void FireEvent(Guid instanceId, string handler)
    {

        // Note: this is being fired from a method with in the same
        //       class that defined the event (that is, "this").

        EventArgs e = new EventArgs(instanceId);

        MulticastDelegate eventDelagate =
              (MulticastDelegate)this.GetType().GetField(handler,
               System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance |
               System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(this);

        Delegate[] delegates = eventDelagate.GetInvocationList();

        foreach (Delegate dlg in delegates)
        {
            dlg.Method.Invoke(dlg.Target, new object[] { this, e });
        }
    }

    FireEvent(new Guid(),  "MyEventToBeFired");

Wiebe Cnossen的accepted answer代码似乎可以简化为：

private void RaiseEventViaReflection(object source, string eventName)
{
    ((Delegate)source
        .GetType()
        .GetField(eventName, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic)
        .GetValue(source))
        .DynamicInvoke(source, EventArgs.Empty);
}

事实证明，我可以做到这一点，但却没有意识到：

buttonEdit1.Properties.Buttons[0].Shortcut = new DevExpress.Utils.KeyShortcut(Keys.Alt | Keys.Down);

但如果我不能，我就必须深入研究源代码，找到引发事件的方法。
谢谢你们的帮助。

如果你知道控件是一个按钮，你可以调用它的PerformClick()方法。我对其他事件也有类似的问题，比如OnEnter，OnExit。如果我不想为每个控件类型派生一个新类型，我就不能引发这些事件。

对一些现有答复和评论的进一步完善。
这也考虑到委托字段可能是在继承类上定义的。

public static void RaiseEvent<TEventArgs>(this object source, string eventName, TEventArgs eventArgs)
    where TEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    // Find the delegate and invoke it.
    var delegateField = FindField(source.GetType(), eventName);
    var eventDelegate = delegateField?.GetValue(source) as Delegate;
    eventDelegate?.DynamicInvoke(source, eventArgs);

    // This local function searches the class hierarchy for the delegate field.
    FieldInfo FindField(Type type, string name)
    {
        while (true)
        {
            var field = type.GetField(name, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
            if (field != null)
            {
                return field;
            }

            var baseType = type.BaseType;
            if (baseType == null)
            {
                return null;
            }

            type = baseType;
        }
    }
}
