vb.net controls:
I have a database application where I need to give the user the
ability to add fields. So I need to put up a form with controls
representing fields of the database that exist, then allow the user to
select a control type and then place and position the new control
(field) on the form. I'm hip to the abstractions necessary for the
database stuff...and I can programmatically make a control appear on
the form.. but I'm not sure how to let the user drag the control to
position it. Any clues on the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks.
