How complex this is gets to be up to you:

To create a second form isn't complex: you just need to create the instance and call the Show method instead of ShowDialog.
You can then set it's location (provided you have set the StartPosition property to Manual) in the parent forms Shown event - just set it to the Parent form Location, plus the Parent form Size, plus any margin you want.

The complications come when you want to move the second form with the first, but that's not too bad: just handle the Parent Move event and move the Child form at the same time.

But if the user moves the Child form, should the Parent Move as well? If so, then you need to handle the Child Move event as well, and also prevent an eternal loop of the Parent move causing a Child move event, which causes a Parent move, which....

But a small amount of playing you get you there!
