Displaying a UserControl inside a WinForm

I am working on a class library that inherits from Form class and then displays this form inside of a Gui app. Now I need to change the class library into a UserControl.

How do I go about displaying it inside of a form in another project? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

IFaceForm is the usercontrol inside of the InterfaceLibrary.

using InterfaceLibrary;

namespace MxlInterface
{  
    public partial class IFaceConn : Form
    { 
        iFaceForm Interface = new iFaceForm();

        //size of the parent form is 881,514
        //use these variables to change the position of the "Interface Form"
        int xlocation = 0;
        int ylocation = 0;

        public IFaceConn()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            //Interface.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
            Interface.Location = new Point(xlocation, ylocation);
            //Interface.MdiParent = this;

            Interface.Show();
        }
    }
}

You could add it to the form directly by doing something like:

MyUserControl myControl = new MyUserControl();
Controls.Add(myControl);

It's also often useful to place a Panel that can be the placeholder for the user control on your form, and then add the user control to that panel:

MyUserControl myControl = new MyUserControl();
myControlWrapperPannel.Controls.Add(myControl;
