IDesignerHost manually add component

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I have form setup to perform designing of a form. There's a toolbox that
you can design from and everything. However, one thing I can't figure out
how to do is manually add an item to be designed. Let's say that I want to
add a TextBox to this. How do I go about this? Do I need to use the
IDesignerHost, IRootDesigner, or what do I need to do?

And perhaps I'm going about this in the wrong way, but we're going to allow
users to layout a custom form themselves. And we'll control the basic
elements such as the location and such. And then I want to manually add
these to the design surface. Let me know if there's an easier way to do
this such as serializing and deserializing. I'm sure there is, but I can't
exactly find the articles for doing this.
