i would like to create a way for users to create their own form. they
will first create some user defined fields, then i would like for them
to be able to drag and drop them on a form they use for data entry.
i want to use windows forms with C#.
can someone point me in the right direction?

Have a look at:

It's all pretty exotic stuff, but when you get the hang of it, it shouldn't
be too hard to get something working.
 
If you just want to let them decide where controls go in the layout, then the
linked sites are WAY too far in the weeds. What will the users be defining in
'user defined fields' and what does that have to do with dragging and
dropping controls? do you mean the will drag on a label and decide what will
be displayed there etc?
