Form Builder

I am developing an application that will allow the user to create thier own
forms by dragging and dropping controls on the form and assigning it a title
(for control header) and a data type that control will hold (e.g. string,
number, date). These are the only tree types required. The form can then
be printed, filled in and used as a hard copy or simply filled in from a
computer.

I am looking for advice how to approach the problem, any good references,
help, ...

Regards,
Dino

Have a look at the C# source of SharpDevelop:

You have your choice of VB.Net or C# projects to download.

Good luck.
