Well from your very vague description you want Form2 frm2 = new Form2(); frm2.Show(); or ShowDialog().

That makes no sense. You are not going to be loading a form in a panel. You probably mean you want to load a user control?

Solution 2

loading form inside panel
inside button's click event, write code as below

C#

form2 frm = new form2();
frm.Toplevel = false;
pnl2.controls.add(frm);
frm.show();

Happy Coding!

Top-level control cannot be added to control Well this is the Error
message will appear your missing this line of code
frm.TopLevel = false ;
So i voted 1

oh! yes really it is.
that line is very important else whole code is meaning less.
thanks for your honest decision-downvoting!

Could you in the next time Read the Solution that provide by other developer maybe it will help you .

Aarti Meswania 26-Aug-12 9:41am

hi! one line was missing here so, I have added it using 'improve solution' link
line was 'frm.TopLevel = false;',
because, form is default top level control so, if we don't write this line it will give error.

now, both of our solutions are working!
that is good effort to answer question. keep it up.
