Hi

I have finally gotten a chance to begin learning .NET. So I will probably have some basic newbie questions for awhile.

In VFP all my interface classes are based on VFP Containers which are added to forms dynamically at runtime. This allowed for faster startup of the application because the container was not added to the form until it was activated. So if the user chose a menu item that opened several forms only the active form loaded the container with the controls. The other forms were created but no container was added until the form was activated.

In .NET is such a technique required? If such a technique would be useful what class would be the equivalent of the VFP container and can this class be visually designed?

Thanks
