I want to open a form inside a panel by clicking btnPlaceOrder which is on the same panel

 private void btnPlaceOrder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        frmDashboard.PanelDesktop.Controls.Clear();
        frmPlaceOrder formPlaceOrder = new frmPlaceOrder();
        formPlaceOrder.TopLevel = false;
        frmDashboard.PanelDesktop.Controls.Add(formPlaceOrder);
        formPlaceOrder.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;
        formPlaceOrder.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
        formPlaceOrder.Show();
    }

error im getting:

Error CS0120 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'frmDashboard.PanelDesktop' projectRMS E:\projectRMS\projectRMS\frmOrders.cs 28 Active

Looks like you didn't instantiate frmDashboard

frmDashBoard frmDashboard= new frmDashBoard();
