Long c# file breakdown

I have a Window Form App project. At the moment all of my code is in Form1.cs file which is the default file. Now I have about 1300 lines of code in this single file. I want to break down this one file code into several files to increase readability and easy handling. Is there an way to do that.

Thanks

  • If you do not want to do anything drastic you can split your class with the partial keyword and place each piece in its own file.

    public partial class Form1 { // file1.cs }
public partial class Form1 { // file2.cs }
