Are you talking about how to create controls at run time? If so then it's no different to any other objects. You simply invoke a constructor and set the appropriate properties, e.g.

Dim b As New Button

b.Location = New Point(50, 100)
b.Text = "OK"

You use the AddHandler statement to attach event handlers, which you can read about in the MSDN library:

AddHandler b.Click, AddressOf ButtonClick

Finally, to display the control on the form you add it to the Controls collection:

Me.Controls.Add(b)

If you open the designer code file for any form you can see similar code.
