Solution 1

You can't "create an instance with the latest controls in it" if you are adding controls at run time: the form is fixed at design time and compiled into your EXE file.

To do what you want, you need to create a "basic" form, and re-add the "new" controls to it. - basically repeating what you did to get the existing form to that state.

Exactly how you do that depends on how your code works - and I can't see that!

See here:

Application.OpenForms is a collection of all the forms currently open in the application: supplying a name will return the form instance of that name.
