Using Canvas in Windows Form .net application

Question

I want to create a Winform application which displays Datagrid, Charts on it. My requirement is, that the user should be able to position those elements according to his choice, like we drop text box, label in winform design view. I know that there is a Canvas class in WPF, but I want to achieve the same with Winforms.

Can I use the WPF Canvas in Winform? Or is there any other solution?

Solution

You can use a WPF Canvas in a Windows Forms application. Just place the Canvas inside of an ElementHost control.
