I am developing a software in MSVB-2008. I am required to create a wizard type application which implies that either the contents of the form should be in the same MDI page or the application should have multiple forms of the same dimensions. I tried doing the former one but ended up with cluttering all the widgets. To avoid cluttering I tried using TabControl. But now I have learnt that even that wouldn't serve the purpose. Please suggest what and how I can get about creating the application.

I've seen lots of wizard applications made using both of the items you mentioned. Agreed, MDI/Panel based tends to be cluttered, but that's sort of its hazard. Using a tab control with only one tab enabled at a time often works well.

Found out yet another way of creating Wizard Type application... By using TableLayoutPanel.
Though it would be a bit hard to get the contents uncluttered it is a nice way...
