C# / .NET GUI development utils

Hello,

Does anyone know about any API's, IDE's or such that simplifies the development of user interfaces? What I'm after is easy positioning and displaying of text, shapes, simple graphics and so on. It should also allow a rather dynamic aproach (easy to move things around, draw new shapes and objects etc post-initiated EDIT: As comment below says, by post-initiated I mean at runtime).

Thanks,

Jonas

For WPF (itself a GUI API) there's Expression Blend, which is a tool (AFAIK written in .NET) that focuses on graphical design for WPF and Silverlight applications.
