Ok dont kill me if I am wrong, but this is what I think.
Every form itself inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Form
Now if you want to create a form that inherits from another form in the same
assembly, fundamentally you wont be able to do it because the moment you add
a form to your Project that form is going to inherit from
System.Windows.Forms.Form (By default)
So the only way you can add inheritance to a form is via referencing to
external assembly
for e.g.
Public Class frmNewForm
Inherits MyformAssembly
Where MyFormAssembly is a form which is basically inherting from
System.Windows.Forms.Form

I have a solution with 3 projects - 1 exe and two dll's.
In the exe I usually inherits forms from one of the dll's (main-classes
etc). Now I want to add an inherited form from within the exe. But when I
try I get the error "Ensure that the file is a valid .Net Framework
Assembly" - and I cannot select a parent form from the forms in my exe.
And I am quite sure that the exe is a "valid .Net Framework Assembly" - I
really can't see what else it could be....and for that reason, how to "make
sure"....
