Are you talking about custom controls? If so you could create a class library with classes that inherit from the base controls. i.e. you could create a numeric text box by inheriting from the textbox control and modifiying the onkeydownpreview to stop characters that are not numeric?

Solution 1

Yes it's possible create a "custom control" - just derive a special Control from an existing one:

class MyTextBox : System.Windows.Forms.TextBox

or you can create a "user control" - this is a composition of existing Controls. There is a base type provided for you by the .NET framework:

UserControl

so you can derive from this one if you just want to combine different controls to a reusable "block".

class MyUserControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl

Do you have any specific problem? Things above are quite basic... btw. DataSet is not a control - you mean DataGrid?
