Three ways you can do this - from the form designer, select the form, and where you normally see the list of properties, just above it there should be a little lightning symbol - this shows you all the events of the form. Find the form load event in the list, and you should be able to pick ProgramViwer_Load from the dropdown.

A second way to do it is programmatically - somewhere (constructor maybe) you'd need to add it, something like: ProgramViwer.Load += new EventHandler(ProgramViwer_Load);

A third way using the designer (probably the quickest) - when you create a new form, double click on the middle of it on it in design mode. It'll create a Form load event for you, hook it in, and take you to the event handler code. Then you can just add your two lines and you're good to go!

You got half of the answer  Now that you created the event handler  you need to hook it to the form so that it actually gets called when the form is loading  You can achieve that by doing the following    public class ProgramViwer   Form    public ProgramViwer              InitializeComponent           Load    new EventHandler ProgramViwer Load         private void ProgramViwer Load object sender  System EventArgs e             formPanel Controls Clear           formPanel Controls Add wel
