Hi everyone, I am very new to Visual Studio, particularly C# programming so I apologise in advance if this question has been posted elsewhere, but I honestly just cannot figure this out.

I am creating a windows Desktop application using C# WIn Forms with .NET Framework, and basically I want to maintain the one window for my application, so it behaves exactly the same way an application should, without multiple overlapping forms etc.

I've tried to research this so much but I can only find limited youtube videos and the articles I've read, I struggle to understand.

Is the best way to maintain this one window layout through the use of UserControls or multiple forms inside a container? Do User Controls need to be contained inside a panel so I can call them with Button click etc?
