Dear Sir/Madam

I have a Form1 in my C# Project. Within this project I haved added a UserControl. Now my question is:

How can i show the UserControl from Form1 by clicking the button,
(the similarity would be like: e.g...)

form1 frm = new form1();

frm.show();

But for UserControl this is not working.
Please any help would be very greatfull.

Thanks in advance

Is the user control already on the form or do you want to add it dynamically?
If you want to add it dynamically use Heinzzy's or OriginalGriff's answer.

Solution 2

Try:

MyUserControl muc = new MyUserControl();
muc.Location = pointIWantItAt;
Controls.Add(muc);

This add the user control to the current class (form) Controls list, and this will make it visible.
