controllers	Controller[]	A Controller[] array that contains the additional controllers that must be activated for the new Frame.

Remarks

The constructor is used to create and initialize a new Frame object. It sets the Frame.Application and Frame.Context properties and populates the Frame.Controllers collection. Controllers in the ViewController class’ inheritance are activated.

Basically, you do not need to create Frames. They are created automatically. You may need to do it manually if you only develop a specific Property Editor or List Editor.

It is recommended that you create a new Frame via the XafApplication.CreateFrame method, rather than using a constructor. This is the common approach for all XAF elements.
