Hey,
What is the best way to use multiple files to split up a large win forms project?
For example I would like to have global variables in one file, and global functions in another. I have multiple tabs on my win form, each to run a different admin task. I would like the code for each of these tasks to also be in separate files. Currently I have this all in one file, and it has become very difficult to manage.
How can I do this and make variables and functions available across all the files?
Your suggestion would be much appreciated.
PowerShell Studio 2014, Version & Build: 4.1.74

Re: Using multiple files in a project
You can create a Forms Projects and it allows you to use global file (Globals.ps1) in which you can place functions and variables accessible to the rest of the project.
To create a new project: Ribbon->File->New->New Form Project
As for the tabs, you are limited to the single form in that regard. Alternatively, you can create a main form that has buttons to show a different form for each section (assuming they are independent).
If you want to see a sample multi-form project go to: Ribbon->Help->Product Support->Samples
The SAPIEN Document Explorer is required to view the sample.
