Look at the definition of MyForm in your project, and you'll see exactly how to do it.

It is the case when I want to subclass a single form but I want to add fields and properties to MyForm and to create forms inherited from MyForm and add controls to it in a generic way so that adding new form from IDE generate code such as this:

public class Form1: MyForm //instead of Form

This allows me to create instances of MyForm rapidly specialy when I create many different classes (forms) and access it's members or methods public of MyForm. Please notice that fields of different types of MyForm should have the same structure.

Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks for your interes and reply
