In my application i am adding a lot of controls all on top of each other (winforms designer nature) and it becomes very difficult to manage; However to the user there is no problem as controls are shown on demand.

So how could i hide some controls at the designer so it's more easy to manage ?

    heck, so how could the big programs do there design. it became a hell hard for me with only some controls how would it be with hundreds of them – Roman Ratskey Oct 29 '12 at 13:17
  • you can put the controls on different panles and do BringToFront or SendToBack http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/is/csharpide/thread/9c3ae9d1-432e-49e8-a389-91f6279a2312 – andy Oct 29 '12 at 13:18
  • But if i send a panel pack how could i select it again (due to it is being behind another panel ...) am i supposed to resize it to the what is behind and that hell ? – Roman Ratskey Oct 29 '12 at 13:22

    TabControl has nice design time support, hide the tabs like this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/2798241/17034 – Hans Passant Oct 29 '12 at 14:37
