very simple on a Form:

Button btn = new Button();
btn.Text = "Click me";
btn.Click += delegate {this.Text = "Hi";}; // or an existing
SomeMethod(object, EventArgs)
Controls.Add(btn);

Is there something more specific you want to do?

MikeJ,

Creating controls are like any other object, in the sense that you
create an instance, and set it's properties.

As a matter of fact, the VS.NET designer doesn't do anything special
when you set the properties of your controls, it actually emits code. It is
not declarative, like say, XAML is. You could use the designer generated
code as an example.

That's all I do: I create a new form, arrange the controls I want on
the screen, then look at the code that Visual Studio generated.
