design page

[Parus]

Has anyone ever made a form where you can design a page in?
Users should be able to drag and drop components and then a page with the components on the right place should be generated.
I know somehow how I can drag and drop components on a form but I don't know how to export them to an A4 page.

Hasn't anyone ever made a component to design a page?

I think you should do some research about DesignSurface class, this let you integrate the Visual Studio designer services in the form at runtime. Most code samples I've seen is in C# though, for example you can download MSDN Magazine March 2006 that has an article "Create And Host Custom Designers With The .NET Framework 2.0" with a large sample project. This article explains a lot: Use and customize of host of forms of Visual Studio 2005 in your applications .net
