It doesn't (shouldn't) really work like that. The partial classes are used by GUI designer tools (Visual Studio[1] and SharpDevelop[2] for example) to seperate code that the tool generates from code (event handlers etc) that the programmer writes. IOW hopefully both parts of the class have GUI code in them.
