User Interface Design Windows Form

Hi there, I want to design a data entry form(windows form) for my file management application which is flexible to create different groups which can have different columns(eg: TELEPHONE may have TelNo, ServiceProvider, User. like this other groups can have different columns) but I need a common entry form. How should I design UI? give me some samples.. Thanks in advance..

Don't do it, it is a pain you don't need. Creating a data entry form is easy as pie, it doesn't take more than 10 minutes. Make one for each entry job you've got. Maintenance is trivial, code next-to-none. Create a UserControl instead of a form if you want to keep the number of forms you display to the user to a minimum.
