Question

How do I create non visual components in .NET that can be dragged and dropped onto a Form ?

For example the imagelist component is a non visual component, it appears in the toolbox and can be dragged onto a form and properties can be set for that component.

How can I achieve that ? How can I create non visual components. I know about user controls but that is not what I am looking for.

Thank you

By deriving from Component instead of Control.

public class MyNonVisualControl: Component
{

}
