At design time? At runtime?

Microsoft actually has a document on how to do it at design time, in case someone's never used a computer before.

RUNTIME

You don't. WPF doesn't have "forms", it has windows. If you really think you have to do something like this, create a user control.

FORGET WPF. how do u copy otherwise?

Again, you don't. And screaming at people doesn't help.

i wasn't screaming at u pal i was just asking u to not take the wpf into account. My apologies if u got offended

Yes you were screaming. Typing all capitals is SCREAMING ON THE INTERNET. Just like not using proper words is considered childish. If you want to be taken seriously, learn to use correct wording and proper language constructs. "u" is not a word in the English language. If you do not expect a WPF answer then why on earth did you tag your not-a-question with WPF?

You would need to iterate through the Forms controls collection, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.controls(v=vs.110).aspx[^] and then start creating and adding new controls to the new form.

I suggest you find a different way to accomplish what you need.
