Copy an existing form

I need to copy the existing form EDIT1 to EDIT2 into the same project so
that I can modify EDIT2 while preserving EDIT1 for a slightly different use.
What's an easy way to do it?
Thanks

Bill,

Depends,
You can inherit it what I understand you do not want.
(I write this to prevent that someone tells me that).

Otherwise, just open a new form give it your new formname.
Delete really all the code (including the designer part)
Paste the code from the old form
Rename the class in top.
Open the designer created code and see if there is a reference to the RESX
(that will be blueed). Change that to the new form class name.

Than it should be done. The designerform will be draw automaticly again.

I hope this helps?

Dear all, So passing and returning a class object is the time when to include the definition of the copy constructor into the class definition. But if we don't call by value or return by value, we do not need to use the copy-constructor. So depending on the above reasoning I can avoid call by value and return by value for class objects, this bypasses the problem or it seems to me like that. Could any one give me some simple examples...

So I was trying to think of a way to get the SOME of the same information I would have just input into that form copied over to another form which has a sub form as well....
