Hi, I dont see the need to use reflection for this. You can build a simple draw application by having a panel (initially empty) and some user interface operations (mouse clicks and drags, and/or keyboard input) that cause new graphical objects to be created, positioned, moved, resized, etc. That would take an internal representation of your drawing (say user-defined objects stored in an ArrayList), a paint method that knows how to paint them all, and a Panel.Invalidate() every time you change the drawing. Similarly you can make something like a form designer inside some container (a Form, or again a Panel): with similar user interface operations you can create, position, move, resize, etc normal Controls. You may not need to hold your "form design" in an ArrayList this time, you could simply add all new Controls to the Form.Controls or Panel.Controls collection that is already there. Also the painting is automatic for all controls inside the Controls collection, so the only thing not to forget is calling Invalidate(). You may find some examples on CodeProject, I suggest you search for "Form Designer". Hope this helps. :)
