[edit] Procedure

To add a form to a class:

1. Right-click on the class and select Add Form.
2. In the Add Form dialog that appears: in the Form Name: text box, type the name you want to give your form.
   

   Note If you do not modify the Form Name:, the form is given the name of the interface you choose or create below. The second option has the advantage of making it easier to remember both the name of the form and the interface acting as an interface to the form.
   
   Form names must be unique in their class. Interface names must be unique within the scope of a project.

3. Select from the following choices:
   1. Choose an Existing Form Interface—enables you to specify a form interface from the tab bearing the name of your solution, the tab labeled Runtime.FormInterface, or from the tab labeled Dependencies. Your solution tab contains a list of those interfaces you created. Form interfaces appearing in the Runtime.FormInterface tab are default form interfaces provided by the system, and interfaces listed in the Dependencies tab are those belonging to projects you have added as dependencies to your current solution. If you have yet to add a form interface within the scope of your solution, the first tab is empty. Likewise, if you have not added any projects to your solution as dependencies, the Dependencies tab is empty.
   2. Add a New Form Interface—enables you to create a new form interface within the context of whatever project in your solution seems most appropriate. To do so:
      1. Under Add a New Form Interface, in the Form Interface Name: text box, type the name you want to give your form interface.
      2. From the Choose a Project: combo box, choose the project where you want the form interface to be created. 
4. Click OK.
5. The form appears in the Solution Detail and is automatically selected. If you also created a new form interface in the same project with your new form, the form interface is also visible in the Solution Explorer.
6. In the Property Editor, change/set any properties for the form you want.
7. To open the form for editing, in the Solution Detail, double-click the form.

To delete a form from a class:

1. Select the form.
2. Click the Delete icon (red X) at the top of the Solution Detail (or Right Click on the form and select Delete).
