Never mind,
and I would like to say that you are 100% right about Microsoft not
providing an efficient set of methods and docs for this. As you'll see
from the links, the infrastructure is discovered by users actually.

Hi Mike,
Well, this has been an issue for me a while ago; but unfortunately i
could not get started on the project. However, I have collected some
usefull links about the subject, and among the recommendation of Geoff,
I can give you the following links for an introduction to subject
http://www.divil.co.uk/net/articles/designers/hosting.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/12/CustomFormsDesigner/default.aspx
http://geekswithblogs.net/mtreadwell/archive/2005/01/06/19342.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/designsurface.asp
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=813808
http://windowsforms.net/articles/shapedesigner.aspx
And on the subject; you basicly have two options, to use the designer
framework provided by ms, or to build it all from scratch; however, if
you choose the second option, there are many more points to consider;
for a lot of issues for which ms has provided some method.
So, I suggest you to use the existing framework; that was my decision;
but as I have written, I could not find the time to get started
