.NET: How to convert a windows form to a windows control

Question

I have a a .NET 3.5 windows form which I'd like to embed into another form. Is there a quick way to turn that form into a control?

Thanks

Answer 1

Change the form to inherit from UserControl instead of Form, then fix any compile errors.

Answer 2

There's also a way to embed a form in a control: Here's the code in VB:

Public Shared Sub ShowFormInControl(ByRef ctl As Control, ByRef frm As Form)     If ctl IsNot Nothing AndAlso frm IsNot Nothing Then         frm.TopLevel = False         frm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None         frm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill         frm.Visible = True         ctl.Controls.Add(frm)     End If End Sub 

I think I acquired this code from another post on SO, but I can't remember where, so sorry if this is your code snippet!
