C# application with Visual programming editor

Question

I am looking for a user interface component that will allow my users to visually edit the parameters of a simulation project. I am not looking for something elaborate but a user interface similar to the one that is available in Visual Studio Domain Specific Languages. Essentially I want to provide a toolbox with a few components and then an editor where users can drag and drop the components and connect them. Anything you have come across?

I am using Visual Studio 2010, C#, the DevExpress user interface components for the front-end and it's all winforms.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 and C#. Sorry for not having the screenshot yet but there seems to be a problem. — Dimitris, Oct 07 '11 at 15:14
You can look into extending/customizing the Visual Studio Shell. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1682179/visual-studio-shell-creating-a-custom-ide — Jayanta Dey, Oct 07 '11 at 15:16
Hmmm that's the problem I don't want to write a Visual Studio Shell or plugin because I have my front-end in devexpress. I want to build something really simple. — Dimitris, Oct 07 '11 at 15:18
WPF? Windows Forms? Silverlight? ASP.NET WebForms? ASP.NET MVC? — Uwe Keim, Oct 07 '11 at 15:18

Visual Studio isolated shell might be a good start!

You can even design your own debug engine to compile and build code for your specific languages such as Python, Lisp etc.

The closes thing that springs to mind is the design experience for Windows Workflow Foundation? Perhaps XAML is the way forward..
