  If you managed to do the examples you should know how you can do something like this
  
  You just need to return the Object you would like to display in the CreateControl() method.
  
  Like i always return a panel, call it main_Panel or whatever you like, then i add the controls i need to this panel.
  But my base is always such a panel.
  
  Here's a simple example of a Panel with a label in it:

  public class C_TitleAddin : StringControlAddInBase
      {
          private Panel m_Panel;
          private Label m_Label;
          protected override Control CreateControl()
          {
              m_Panel = new Panel();
              m_Label = new Label();
              m_Panel.Controls.Add(m_Label);
  
              // Label Properties
              m_Label.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
              m_Panel.Padding = new Padding(0, 15, 0, 5);
              m_Label.Font = new Font(m_Label.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
  
              // Panel Properties
              m_Panel.BackColor = Color.White;
              m_Panel.MinimumSize = new Size(300, 35);
              m_Panel.MaximumSize = new Size(750, 35);
  
              return m_Panel;
          }
  
          public override string Value
          {
              get
              {
                  return string.Empty;
              }
              set
              {
                  m_Label.Text = value;
              }
          }
      }
  

  
  Of course you're addin need more logic, you need to call the on addin event, when droping, you need to handle the drop event, pass the droped data (base64?), etc etc.

  Everything I want works fine. I wasn't able to implement the same as client add-in.
