Designer software for "run-time designer"

[Helmut Giese]

Hello out there,
in my application users need to create/populate/modify notebook pages
at _run-time_. This calls for "designer like" capabilities like
- dragging components to some kind of form,
- work with a corresponding property editor,
- saving the result somehow and re-create the page when needed, and
- the like.

I wonder:
- Is it possible to (re-) use Visual Studio's built-in designer or
maybe a subset (this is VS 2005)?
- Does anyone have experience in using some third party software to
accomplish this?

Any links or tips will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Helmut Giese

Thanks Mohammad,
but I'm afraid I don't quite understand.
I've never heard of PowerBuilder before - ok, now I found
http://www.powerbuilder.sys-con.com/ but still: What is the relation
to C#?
