Adding an existing form to a project

[barcrofter]

In the solution explorer, when I RMB click on a new project to add an
existing form from another project (by selecting the three items for
the form), I end up with the vb code and two nested vb items (the
designer code and the resx file) but no working form.

I have tried other selections but nothing reproduces the original
working form. The only way I can get the form working is to take a
blank form and paste in the contents of these files. Is there another
more efficient way of adding an existing form to a new project?

I had a similar problem. But the next day I opened up this project that
I added an external form to, and eventually the form appeard in the
designer with all of the controls. It seemed like a time thing - that
probably wasn't it - but eventually the form appeared normally in the
project. I have not figured it out yet.
