SHORT DESCRIPTION: Am interested in how to implement basic snapping functionality among drag/drop-able custom controls in C#, where to start and can anyone give any pointers to something similar etc.
For simplicity, assume Button Control, I have a ToolBox of Buttons in my App, User drags and drops them on an area, if 2 buttons are placed CLOSE together vertically or horizontally, they SNAP in place - like in a GRID.

EDITED to be a non-vague-ish question
Hi, so I am wanting to make a scratch like software on m own, for Arduino and other robotics stuff, YES, I have seen at the different variants of scratch and snap and all similar versions - but I want to make my own.
I know somewhat C# and am an electronics engineer, so how do I go about making custom controls which have basic support of dragging/dropping (I think that is already available in C#/.Net), Snapping to one another (this will need to be type based snapping later, but for now simple snapping) and a ToolBox like view in my program from where user can get those blocks (this is not the custom control part).
Any pointers, ideas, suggestions in this regard would be great, I plan to keep it open source and this is more of a learning exercise for myself then to finish it any time soon - THANKS for your time and any help in advance. :)
