I need help... i want the tiles to be able to be placed anywhere on the screen, but when i do the tiles 'appear' at the upperleft all scrunched together.... can anyone help? I have the map editor as an attachment.

You should use the Pixels scalemode in your form. When running your application, it seemed to slow down my computer. :-\

but it's tile based, so how would i end up making it so that they couldn't place them 1 pixel from eachother and have them overlapping?

Multiply all of your coordinates by the width and the height of the tile. :)

for anyone who cares, or wants an example for a basic mapeditor, you can download my basic mapeditor here. This only has 5 basic tiles in it, all of which were created by me. The reason is because the map editor is really for a game I am just now starting. Oh, there are 2 versions. 1 is with the exe, and one is without. If you have VisualBasic (which, chances are you do), then get the one without the exe

No EXEs! No EXEs!
