.net Components ... a Custom Form

Question

Hi, I've been working in the creation of some custom components adding functionalites to the basic components such as a Datagridview.

Now I want to create a custom Form ... I mean, when I choose add new item in the VS menu, there is a Windows form and some varians of it like an about box, or Dialog, that are simple Forms with a custom controls already on it.

I want to have a login form for my set of applications, so this login is avialable for all the development team to use it in the different modules.

How can I develop the form and then add it to the "Add New Item" screen?

Thanks !!!

I suggest you read this (assuming you use MSVS 2010, if not, there should be articles for other versions): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247069.aspx

I used the Inherit Forms :) ... here is some documentations, it was really easy !!!
