    Hi, I want to create a simple GUI designer for users. The designer should be very simple and user can select some components such as text boxes , labels and others from tool window and than they can place this components on windows form during run time. Please give me or name of such articles or which topic should I search in google.. Thanks.

      Take a look at this[^] article. It doesn't contain the answer to your problem itself but if you scroll to the bottom the links listed there do. They will at least give you some terms to search for. Other useful terms: Design Surface Hosting Controls at run time Good luck! :)

        As a general rule, the simpler it is for users the harder it is for you to program. This is a massive topic, and with the risk of sounding harsh; If you need to ask how to start this, you do not yet have the knowledge to complete it.

          You could always create a windows application using VS(assuming you use it). Place whatever components you require on the form. Then have a look at the YourForm.designer.cs files. This will give you all the necessary info on creating the various controls. Next investigate Drawing,DragDrop using the mouse. Finally you will need to save this info (control type,position etc) in some type of file XML etc. After all this you should have yourself a pretty fine GUI Editor. Best of luck

          Regards Mick Curley :)
