Is it possible to generate code properly through a toolbox custom control?

Ok, so long story short, I was working on a .NET WEBFORMS project which was capable of creating ASPX pages through an ASPX form, which was basically a drag and drop controls page which, we could say, seemed to be a basic but functionality acceptable page/wizard/aspx-creator.

Well, now my higher-ups decided that approach is not a worthy solution and, I don't know why, they got into their heads that this, instead of this ASPX creator form, could be implemented through custom controls added to the toolbox.

So, my doubt is... is that even possible? Or better, is that a reasonable solution? I mean, the first cons I've already found is the fact It seems that it's impossible to yield CodeBehind code by the drag and drop method.

Thanks in advance!

Custom Controls

This MDSN walkthrough teaches you aboutmaking custom web controlls for asp. these would be able to appear in your tool box and could be dragged into its respective place, is this waht you are looking for?

EDIT: Re-reading it looks like you want to be able to drag in bits of code and have certain regions prompted for edits, this CAN be done, using snippets. if you type propg or propfull and tab twice it constructs that code and tells you what bits to edit right? you can make your own snippets! Creating custom snippets failful msdn tutorials to the rescue once more!
