The problem is difficult to copy form from one project to another.

Describe the solution you'd like and alternatives you've considered

Suggestion, Make WinForm project more modular. By Allowing separate resources and settings for each form. Benefit: More easily transfer functionality from one project to another.

Please elaborate on what you have in mind, how you see it is used, and how it would benefit all Windows Forms developers.

Sometimes I need to copy some functionality from one WinForm project to another. Form is not a Form.cs and Form.designer.cs it keeps resources in the common resource repository in the project file.

So Idea is to have the ability to store form-related resources (strings, images) in the .resx files and not in the project file.

@IrakliLomidze This exists now, there are form level resx files. Is that what you are after?
