How to convert a .NET control to CODE?

Question

I want to create a .NET form at runtime, add buttons and other controls to it (also at runtime), and then be able to generate something.designer.cs from this form (which can then be added to the C # solution and compiled).

What I want to do is very similar to what the WinForm designer does. But instead of having a drag / drop interface for the user, I want to dynamically build Form / Control itself at runtime.

I thought I could just reuse what WinForm designer does.

Is it possible?

Yes, you can achieve this using Compiler Services (C # code compilation) or Emit, if you know that you need to create the correct MSIL.
