Loading a form from another project

[Guest]

Hi,
I created a form in a project & wish to use it in another project. I Right
click the project in the project explorer, & choose Add, then I choose
Existing item & navigate to the FormMyForm.cs file. I do not link the file;
it is a new item.
I add it to the project & can see it in the project explorer, however,
intellisense doesn't recognise it as being part of the project. I cannot
instanitate it because it doesn't 'exist' in the project. I save & rebuild
but nothing changes. This works with class files. Why not forms?

Is there something I've missed?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

You've probably missed the namespace.
Solution :
a. try using fully qualified name for the form class ie including the
namespace.
b. change the namespace of this form to the namespace of your project.

HI Pop,
That was it. I changed the namespace & there you go.

Thanks very much for your assistance.
