This makes it hard to read for the one using your code. Auto generated. I've been doing things like public partial class Form1 : Form and some of em worked, but then another one design got created and i don't know how to get rid of it — Patryk.

Many ppl have answered your question - but I just want to point out that the key to separate your code to different files is in the partial keyword. You do this by declaring the class as partial , just as you see there in the designer generated code. It's a bad practice to create partial classes outside of generated code. The code is hard to read, track down, piece together. Active Oldest Votes.

You should have functions in the class if that is what is required of your class. Then I would have the files IbmIDatabase. But in any case, if you feel it will simplify things for you, fine.

I would not do it because when I am looking for something I would rather have one file to scan rather than two. But that's a matter of personal preference.
