Custom Class for dealing with embedding in Forms

Question

I have a custom class file in C# that I inherited and partially extended. I am trying to re factor it now as I have just enough knowhow to know that with something

You don't need generic to do this:

public static void ShowFormInControl(Control ctl, Form frm) {
  frm.TopLevel = false;
  frm.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;  // Others rarely make sense
  frm.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
  frm.Visible = true;
  ctl.Controls.Add(frm);
}

Sample usage:

public Form1() {
  InitializeComponent();
  ShowFormInControl(this.panel1, new Form2());
}
