How to convert Windows Forms 1.1 to 2.0 to use partial classes?

[Johndoe]

Hi,

Can someone give me some pointers as to how to convert a WinForms 1.1 to 2.0
to use partial classes? Maybe a good article on the Net? I already converted
my application from 1.1 to 2.0, but the new forms are not using partial
classes.

Thanks.

Why partial class is so important to you if your app is running?

You have to do it manually !



Advice : do it with Visual Studio's Editor, but not "In the project" (you'll
get problems !); instead open an "empty instance" of VS and open only the
*.cs file you need to split, then split them manually into *.cs and
*.Designer.cs .



When finished it should be ok to re-open your full project and compile it.

It's a hobby application. I want to keep it "up-to-date" so that it will be
hopefully easier when I have to port it to .NET 3.0 / WPF and futher
technologies later on.

I didn't have any problems doing it "in the project".
