Move WinForm some controls to another WinForm using partial classes in C#

Question

I have a WinForm which has many panels, and each panel has many controls, which make it very hard to handle the design of this form, how to move each panel to a new form and return all panels to the main form at runtime?

What code have you tried so far? What is the main reason for wanting to move controls between forms? — Ben, Jan 30 '17 at 08:49
You can make each panel a user control and add them to your form. — HebeleHododo, Jan 30 '17 at 08:52

Creating a UserControl will help modularize your user interface. You should create one user control per panel let's say and then use those user controls in your form.

The nice thing about UserControl is that they are reusable and can be designed (visually) just like the Forms are designed.

You can refer to this below link to know more about UserControls for WindowsForms: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302342.aspx
