I've just downloaded and installed Visual C# Express 2005 Beta 2. I can't find "Add Inherited Form" menu which existed in Beta 1. Is it gone now or is it just only my problem
Let me guess. You are using Express Beta 2 of some product
I've looked at Express VB and the full VS and there are VAST differences in their capabilites. (As there will be VAST differences in pricing:-)
The inherited form IS present as one of the many things you can do when you do Add New in Visual Studio. My xpress vb appears to have disappeared so I can't confirm this for you now.
As Al alludes to the C# Express SKU (and VB Express SKU) do not include this particular project template. They were ultimately not included because one of the goals of the Express SKU is to keep it simple and remove functionality that is less likely to be mainstream. In order to simulate the behavior of the template you can add a new windows form via the normal template and then change its bases and interfaces list to include the form that you would like to descend from.
I have the same problem. I do not see this menu item under the Project menu, nor do I see (as somebody suggested) an "Inherited Form" template under "Add New Item."
I'm using the C# Express Beta 2 and use form inheritance quite a lot. If you intend to build an application framework that is usefull and reusable, form and control inheritance is a must.
IMO, it is very annoying to miss the inherited form and inherited control templates.
Where is "Add Inherited Form" in Beta 2?

Please let me know if my guess is correct.
