winforms
so I am kind of new to c#
what i am trying to do is... when a user clicks a certain button, the form should look entirely different. i am thinking the easiest way to do this would be to have two forms... the button click will close the form1 and load the form2... does that sound okay? or is there a better approach? |

What do you mean by "the form should look entirely different."? You could change the color or size without closing the form.

Well yes then you want to display a new form. However if you just need to display more controls you might want to check out the TabControl

I'd go just go with displaying a new form and closing out the old one. Just create two different forms and for the certain button the user presses to have the form close and display the new form.

Another option is to have two or more panels, place controls (buttons, etc) on the panels, and set the Visible property of all but one of the panels to false. You can change which of the panels is visible, and this will give the effect of a changing form.

i would work but as a beginner it may confuse you trying to refer to variables etc from the other form as its not just striaght forward. maybe use invisible controls and make them visible and the others invisible
