dotnet windows forms designtime: Hi All !

I got a few heavy forms with a lot of controls. What is the easiest/fastest way to convert these to
"partial class" type (Separate Designer.cs file) ?

TIA

Best wishes

Hi Kai,

The upgrade wizard for vs2005 doesn't convert your forms to the new coding
style (as you probably already found out).
The most simplest way is to create a new form and open only the code
windows.
Then look at the structure of the files and copy the code from the original
form-code-file to the new one respecting the structure.

This is how I did it. Ignore the errors and remove the original (exclude).
Rebuild and see if its correct.

Hope this is what you where looking for.

Greets,

Martin
