You should add a ComponentSerializationService service to the DesignSurface. In the HostSurface class in that sample you posted, add the following two lines of code in it would work fine.

Code Block

class HostSurface : DesignSurface

BasicDesignerLoader _loader;

private ISelectionService _selectionService;

public HostSurface() : base()

{

this.AddService(typeof(IMenuCommandService), new MenuCommandService(this));

this.AddService(typeof(ComponentSerializationService),

new CodeDomComponentSerializationService(this));

}

HostSurface(IServiceProvider parentProvider) : base(parentProvider)

{

this.AddService(typeof(IMenuCommandService), new MenuCommandService(this));

this.AddService(typeof(ComponentSerializationService),

new CodeDomComponentSerializationService(this));

}

Thanks for your reply.

But this service is already added.But my problem is, i.e.,if i have a Label1 and i change the Color of Label1 to Green when i Ctrl-Drag i should get a green Label1 in the dragged Location.

But after making a copy of the Original control, the cloned control is in the original control location and the Original control

is in the Dragged Location(The location between the Dragged and original one's are interchanged).

Thanks
