How do I programmatically create a windows form?

c# .net csharpcodeprovider

I have a unique c# source file named source.cs that i compile using CSharpCodeProvider from a builder to get an executable.

I would put an option on the builder whether to display the About form on application startup or not.

How can i create a form with title as About Us then add controls within (Labels, RichTextEdit etc..)

Something like

if (display_about_dialog) {
// code to display the form }

Any help would be highly appreciated

Try something like this:

using (Form form = new Form())
{
    form.Text = "About Us";

    // form.Controls.Add(...);

    form.ShowDialog();
}
