Is there any way to divide a C# class into two or more files. My sourcefile for a windows-form-class enlarged up to more then 100k and it takes a long time to load it with VisualStudio.

Your class is too big. There is no good reason you would need a class to be that big. Refactor/redesign.

That being said, the next version of C# will most likely allow you to split a class definition over multiple files, through a mechanism called partial classes. I just hope this will not merely become an excuse for the kind of sucky design that leads to monster classes.
