frames in windows ?

Hi, I am looking to create an application that has a left navigation bar and depending on the button clicked on the left navigation bar, the right part of the form gets loaded with different controls ( i have designed the right controls as forms. I have about 20-25 different forms that can be loaded on the right.) Any idea how this web-type frame design can be implemented in windows form ?

I tried placing a form on a form...it did not work. I converted the right side forms into UserControls and it works. But, I am looking for other possible ways to handle this situation.
Thanks for any help.

One way would be to use MDI. Set the main form (host form) to be MDI parent and the forms that you want to display to be MDI child of the main form.

Hope that helps!
