I need to make a copy of my already made form instead of adding new. I tend to do this by copy/paste the controls and manually setting the location. Is there any other way to do this?

Jump to PostIf the forms are identical with the same functionality, you can just create a new instance of the form.
Form1 form1 = new Form1(); Form1 form2 = new Form1();

My form1 uses same labels and textbox, but the form1 is for adding of data and form2 is for editing data.

You can copy/paste the source files and just edit the class name. Then add this to the project and you should be good to go.
