Hi Michael

For my case the forms have been too different. So the first form have been just a sort of template for the copy.

Maybe copy to a diff project and remane there and then copy back might
fix the  refactor issue?

OTOH maybe inherit from the 1st form (base) to create 2 new forms...

Hi John

You can copy and paste the .cs file in the Solution Explorer pane. The
copy will be renamed and you can rename that to what you want.

However, if you in the Properties pane later rename the copy of form to
the new name, I've found that the refactoring mechanics will rename
references to your form not only in the .Designer.cs file (correct) but
also in the original .Designer.cs file (really nasty)! What do others
do?

Hi All
 
How do you copy a Form in VB.Net 2005?  I have a form with 100+
controls. I need a very similar form and It seems a real drag to type
that lot  again. Any sugesstions?
 
TIA
