Maximum forms in a project

[WarrenW]

Hi,

I assume I could have 250 forms in a project just as long as they are not all loaded right? When I am done with a form, I use the Unload method. And the most forms I have open in a series at once may be 4 or 5. So this would be fine right?

Thanks

Warren

Yes.

I have written so rather large applications in my days and I have never even come close to 100 forms in a project, how does one manage that many forms?

[WarrenW]

I won't have that many, just used it as an example. The one large program I am writing will probably have around 50 forms though. Just for the settings page of my program, I am using individual pages for each setting which is alot in this one. I know I could combine but just easier this way.

Thanks!!!

You should always consider re-using some of your forms regardless - that's how small or large projects are done..
There are many different technics like putting multiple frames on the form and show appropriate based on some argument... You'd strongly recommend that yoou try one of those...
Without this you may put yourself against the wall one day

In addition to Rhino's suggestion you could also consider using a Tabbed Dialog control.

Or making a Settings Wizard.
