User Controls in Windows Forms - Anything similar

问题:

In ASP.NET you have something called "User Controls", which allow you to design a custom control which can be reused in the website.

I am now starting developing a Windows application in .NET 2.0 and (surprisingly) I cannot find a similar functionality.

What I would like to do is: - Create a new user control in the designer; - Drag & Drop a few controls on it (e.g. buttons, textboxes); - Save, and be able to resuse this user controls by dragging and dropping it on various dialogs.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Giammarco Schisani
