I am working on a windows forms application and have the following
requirement.

I have two projects in my application Project A and Project B. And
Project A has the reference of Project B. I need to display a modeless
dialog from the main form which is in Project A and the modeless dialog
to be raised is in Project B. After closing the modeless dialog i need
to pass a value from modeless dialog to the main form of Project A and
also i need to execute a method in the main form with that value.
(the problem is i can not able to create an object of the main form
because Project B has no reference of Project A)

In your main form in project A:

ModelessDialog md = new ModelessDialog();
md.Closing += new CancelEventHandler(this.ModelessDialogClosing);
md.Show();

then:

private void ModelessDialogClosing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
ModelessDialog closingMd = (ModelessDialog)sender;
MainFormMethod(closingMd.ValueFromModelessDialog);
}

or something like that.
