.NET 1.0/1.1:
Add the left control and set its 'Dock' property to 'Left'. Then add a
splitter control and dock it to the left edge too. Finally add the right
control and set its 'Dock' property to 'Fill'.
.NET 2.0:
Use the splitcontainer control.

the menu) in that area.

You may want to use user controls instead of forms.

"Project" -> "Add user control...". User controls are similar to forms but
they can be placed on a form like controls. You can load and show the
controls at runtime too:
\\\
Dim u As New UserControl1()
Me.Controls.Add(u)
u.Show()
///
