Form inheritance

[Alan T]

How do I create an inherited form in a Class Library project ?

Hi Alan,

1. Add to your project a reference to the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly
2. Create a new class and use the ":" syntax:

public class MyDerivedForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
}

Hi,
It didn't work.

I need to make myself clear:
I create a class library and created a form with buttons as ancestor form.
Now I want to create inherited form from this ancestor form, I tried to
create an inherited form but cannot pass through the wizard.
