Is it possible to Implement generics for Forms and controls? #4327

I wanted to ask if it was possible in one of the next versions to modify the designer so that it accepts object and/or form declarations with genericrs:

public partial class frmUser : Form {
private T userInstance;

...

}

so that I can design a form that can be used for several instances of Example Objects:

var frmUserinfo = new frmUser();
...

var frmUserRegistry = new frmUser(p1, p2,...);
...

I think from the designer's point of view it is sufficient to ignore in design time the Generics type.

This would allow me to design my forms/controls more efficiently. It would really be greatly appreciated....

If by chance there is already the possibility at the limit I would ask for some examples.

As always, thank you very much
