The way I understood the question and I do not know a simple answer to it is to have a composite class (container based) with some controls (textboxes, labels, etc.) The class should be generic enough to be reused in multiple projects yet have custom look depending on the project (e.g. different label fonts, textbox fonts, etc.).
