VS.Net 2005 how to clear form?

  Not sure what you mean by clearing the form. If you want to hide the controls that you can set the the Visible property to false e.g. textBox1.Visible = false;

  If you want to clear the contents of the controls than you've to iterate over all the controls within the collection & set the appropriate values e.g. textBox1.Text = string.Empty or as below

  ControlCollection coll = Form1.ControlCollection; foreach (Control control in coll) { if (control.GetType() == typeof(TextBox)) { control.Text = string.Empty; } }

  like there has a method to remove the controls/methods in the form. then doing so the form will be like its original state when created.

  You can use something like below (i.e. get collection of controls in your form & call clear() on the collection)

  ControlCollection coll = Form1.ControlCollection;

  coll.Clear();
