Using parts of Visual Studio (Express) in own commercial product

$

Hello,

I would like to know whether it is possible to use parts of Visual Studio (Express) in an own commercial product.

The application I'm planning to develop will have a form designer which allows the user to create his own simple forms by dragging controls from a toolbox onto the surface of the form and configuring a few properties with a property grid. So I was wondering whether I could theoretically just use Visual Studio's WinForms designer for that purpose.

So my questions are:

  1. Is it possible (technically) to re-use parts of VS (like its designer) in an own project?
  2. If so, are there licensing models that allow using it in commercial products?

Thank you

Max
