Create UserControl Dynamic

The document presents a C# class 'Form1' that manages dynamic loading and displaying of UserControls in a Windows Forms application. It utilizes reflection to find and instantiate UserControls based on their names, adding them to a dictionary for easy access. If a UserControl is already loaded, it brings it to the front; otherwise, it creates a new instance and adds it to the form's controls.
