I recently heard that there is a feature set called 'Designer Host' in
framework , which can be used to build a VS.Net like form designer for
winforms. Is this so ? Is it an officially supported feature, or just a
professional secret ?
 
Hi,

It is definitely not a 'professional secret'... But its not the best
documented part of .NET either.

You should do a search on msdn for "Design-Time Support", "IDesignerHost"
etc...
Here are a few links from MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ide/html/cpconenhancingdesign-timesupport.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...uide/html/cpcondesign-timeforwindowsforms.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...-us/cpguide/html/cpconbasedesignerclasses.asp

You can also find a few articles being referenced at
http://www.windowsforms.net - Articles - Designer.

Patrick.


You should rather look for IDesignerHost interface..
