Assuming you want the properties that you're setting during construction to
be reflected in the design-time experience and have design-time changes
automatically round-tripped, it's quite difficult to migrate this code
without manually creating a form in Visual Studio. The reason is that the
form designer serializes its state into your source code in a specific
format, and it's unlikely that you'll accidently stumble across it.
