        int B = 1;
        public System.Windows.Forms.Label AddNewLabel()
        {
            System.Windows.Forms.Label newLabel = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();
            this.Controls.Add(newLabel);
            newLabel.Top = B * 28;
            newLabel.Left = 50;

Solution 1

You can Create a Control generation class for this and the object of class can be serialize and deserialize and can be save in to the file or db.
Second approach you can define some meta-data notations for the controls and its properties and can be save it in to the database or xml file as per your requirement.
