.NET Forms Wizard Management
In the old days, using MFC, I could very easily flip the property sheet into a wizard style dialog and reuse the dialog templates.
I have a .NET form with a tab control that I would like to do the same with.
Is there an easy way to do this in .NET without having two copies of my controls?

Going back to when Chris Prodal had a project called Ghengis for .NET a long time ago , which, among other features, is a framework for creating a master project. I don't know exactly what the state of the project is ... it was mainly due to infrastructure flaws 1.0 and 1.1 ... but some of them might be useful, including.

Unfortunately no, there is no built-in way to do this anymore (I miss this MFC ability too).
The two best options I've found are:
- Create a shape for each step and navigate between them
- Create a single form with control buttons and show a different custom control for each step (there are several variations of this project)
If this is a process with a lot of steps, then I would lean towards the second option. It's more setup work, but the reward outweighs the work as the number of steps increases. For a 1-3 step process, creating a new shape for each step will be easier and faster (copy / paste to save).
