Dynamically load a formIs it possible to dynamically load a form from file? This form is just
a .vb file and has not been added to the project during design time.

Wonder if there is any good code example? I know, it's getting kind of gritty :-) "kend9u" <vlong***@gmail.com> wrote in message Why not generate them using native code?

Got the source code for the forms generated and written to disk files already. The next step would be compiling and displaying these files at run-time. "Quick and dirty" ways to accomplish the tasks are much appreciated. Any wrapper to handle it out there?

The form can then be easily reloaded or transferred to another app. Michael C wrote:
