Sounds like homework. And it's not very difficult; look through the auto-generated code from another form for hints.

You can move controls around on the form dynamically by setting their Control.Left and their Control.Top properties. As for creating new ones, it's also pretty simple, just create them in code, add them to the parent form then set their top and left Properties

TextBox t = new TextBox();
form1.Controls.Add(t);
t.Top = 10;
t.Left = 10;

that should do it.

1. Create a user control that has Button and TextBox in it. 2. Add a FlowLayoutPanel to your form and set its FlowDirection as TopDown. 3. Handle the button click event of the button in the Form itself (through delegate). And then add and remove controls at your will. They will move up/down automatically.
