Slight bit of background: I’m a Delphi programmer re-learning C# (learned in school originally, haven’t hardly touched until recently), and am trying to get some of my Delphi concepts transferred over.

The current situation is, I need to create an application that can use data from a variable list of similar data controls depending on location, need, etc. and in order to display that information in Delphi, I would simply use a scroll box and frames. The scroll box I can easily replace with the C# panel class, but I’m not finding anything I can use that will tell me how to create my frame class for use inside the panel. All I can find is some stuff for web development.

Can anyone point me in a good direction for learning the C# frame equivalent? Thanks.

EDIT:

For non-Delphi programmers, a frame is a form-like control that allows other controls (buttons, boxes, grids, etc) to be placed on it, then the frame gets used as a control itself on a form to reduce code-reuse as all frames do similar functionality and streamline development. For a (probably better) more in-depth description, see about.com’s or Delphi Basics descriptions.

    Sounds like a User Control to me.

    Here are some tutorials:

    WPF

    WinForms
