Hello,
 
Is it possible to view a non-CAB winform inside a Shell Form/MainWorkspace or as a child dialog form? Can you also provide a code snippet on how this will be done if possible?
 
Thanks a lot!

You are free to use non-CAB methods [such as creating a form and calling ShowDialog()] at any time.
 
If you're going to the trouble to learn and use the CAB architecture, why would you want to do this?

Thanks! Its because we are implementing both CAB and non-CAB winforms in our application. we would also want to reuse some of our old forms which is non-CAB, and call it inside the SHell.
