You need to handle the MouseDown event for the object to which you want to control the mouse click and check the e.Button property. For example, to check right click on a form:

private void MainForm_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
     {
         // Right cliclk.
     }
}

add to the excellent suggestion of Marco the MouseClick event.

private void Form1_MouseClick(System.Object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button.Equals(MouseButtons.Right)) {
        MessageBox.Show(e.Button.ToString());
    }
}

Regards.
