    Tools>>, Options...

    I want to create a Tools>>, Options form for a C# Outlook 2007 Add-in.

    I have dragged a tree-view control into the left side of the form.

    What control should I drag into the right side so that when a user selects a
    branch in the tree view, the 'subform' with all relevant fields, pictures
    etc changes on the right side of the form?

    I'll also need the same for VB.Net.

      Groupbox is probably the most convenient, although other containers would be
      suitable. Create them as 'subforms' and manipulate the properties (eg,
      visible) to show the appropriate one for each user choice in the treeview.

          Say I have 50 of them, in design mode then do I have them all on top of each
          other (making the screen look like a bird's nest and hard to edit?)

              You either need to carefully place them all at the exact position, making it
              very hard to edit (as you comment) or lay them out in a suitable cascading
              format and set the selected object's location property just before making it
              visible. Even so, with 50 or so that's going to be quite an editing task.
              It may be preferablet to substitute programming effort for design work and
              and set up the design in some form of database and create the layout on the
              fly.

                  I would create each as a UserControl, and add them at runtime.
