    Inherits Form
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim formDesigner = New FormDesignerControl()
        formDesigner.AutoSaveToSource = False
        formDesigner.Dock = Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Left
        formDesigner.Parent = Me
        Dim propertyGrid = New PropertyGridControl()
        propertyGrid.Dock = Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill
        propertyGrid.SelectedObjects = formDesigner.SelectedComponents.ToArray()
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Once PropertyGridControl is connected to the designer, it displays their content according to the SelectedComponents property. SelectedObjects property provides the same list of the selected components. You can change SelectedObjects programmatically or by selecting different controls from the Form Designer, connected to the Property Grid.
