I am using VB.NET (VSNET 2003). I have an application with about 25 forms. I
need to add a new form that is very similar to an existing form. Last time I
ran into this requirement I went outside the IDE and made a copy of the form
(myForm1.vb copied to myForm2.vb) and then re-opened the IDE and patched up
form and file names and such - I finally got it working but it was a pain.

When I try to make a copy of an existing form from within the IDE it screws
up the project.

What is the correct way to make a copy of an existing form within a VB.NET
project?

You can just do copy/paste inside VS.NET, if you ever right-clicked anything
in Solution Explorer:

In Solution Explorer, right click the form file you want to copy, then right
click the project and select paste.
