New items such as class
modules and Windows forms can be added to a project. You are responsible
for updating the properties of an item (such as name) and for filling
in the appropriate code. When naming new items, remember that other
developers may want to use your items in future applications. Be
sure to follow your company’s established naming conventions or
the standards established by Microsoft.
