For example when first time program is run on when I click on button a1 button1.Text should be "SUVO",when click on button b3 button8.Text should be "TRIJUMFALNA KAPIJA" and so on...

You use the Random class to generate a random number and pull that index from whatever string collection you have.

btn.Text.ToString()

Every time I see this I wonder about it and every time I ask, I don't get an answer. Maybe you can tell me what benefit is it that you think you get from converting a string to a string?

It's like the "Learner Driver" notice affixed to the rear of a vehicle. Until they actually learn to remove it, we can only assume.

Check out his other questions and you'll find he doesn't know, and doesn't appear to be trying to learn anything. At a guess, he has conned his way into a job he has no idea how to do, and is trying to use Google and us to keep him getting paid. A help vampire, in fact.

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Indeed. One of the reasons I asked was to see if he actually had a rational explanation. I expect not.

Yes, I believe you are correct sir. It amazes me that how some people call themselves developers nowadays that don't have any idea how computers work, what a file is, what a path is, what a directory is, etc.
