I am looking for a way to allow application users to design the controls on a
given form at run-time.

I have researched the use of the DesignSurface class, but wish to give the
ability to design "in place". For instance, if I have a ToolStripContainer
on my form with controls on the ContentPanel area, I would like to allow the
controls to be designed directly in the ContentPanel.

I have already attempted to declar ControlDesigner instances and calling the
Initialize method, passing in the control I would like the designer to
handle. To much avail, I receive "object reference not set to an
instance..." errors as soon as I mouse-over the control.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.

Anyone know anything about this?
