WinForms And XML

I saw the following requirement somewhere:

"....using WinForms and the screens should be described in XML. The XML is
to prescribe both the layout as well as the connectivity to the underlying
model"

Can someone tell me how a Windows Form can be described in XML?

Is this a school project? Do they tell you what element names to use or any
other requirements. You just creating an abstraction of a form using XML
for teaching purposes - correct?

How do you create an abstraction of a form using XML? Do you mean like some
sort of documentation in XML? Here is the entire job posting from
hotjobs.com :

This project will be integrating a number of GUI applications using a
coherent framework that moves all the business logic to the middle tier,
uses a thin client, yet maintains a rich and responsive GUI that traders
require. The reason this is desirable is that currently wthere is a large
number of heavy client applications running on the client machine, competing
for those resources while also using a number of disparate frameworks that
are costly to develop and maintain independently by several groups.
Additionally state and security are handles in an incoherent manner, which
makes client recovery a more complex issue.
In terms of the platform to be used, the GUI must be built using WinForms
and the screens should be described in XML. The XML is to prescribe both the
layout as well as the connectivity to the underlying model. The server model
for the GUI should also be hosted on Windows as that makes the interaction
between the .Net based GUI and its model more manageable. From the model to
other middle-tier services JMS should be the main method of communication as
a very good standard that should work very well with real-time systems and
any J2EE back-end servers.
We require an experienced developer with solid .NET and indepth knowledge of
C#. Current working experience with WinForms is essential.You must have
experience in equities!!

Candidates should have all of the following skills and experience:
Operating Systems:

a.. Experience with Solaris 2.x or Windows-NT 4x required.
Programming Languages:

a.. Experience of C# is required.
Databases:

a.. Experience with Sybase 11.x, and/or Oracle 7.x8.x required.
Middleware:

a.. Experience with multi-tier architecture and production Internet
architectures required. Messaging expertise a plus e.g. IBM MQ or Tibco RV.
Internet Technologies:

a.. Experience with Netscape Navigator 4.x or Microsoft Internet Explorer
5.x required. Experience with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) required. Experience with Extensible Markup
Language (XML) required. Experience with load balancing, clustering and high
availability is a plus. Experience hosting and deploy live high volume web
based trading application is a plus.
Modelling:

a.. Experience using the Rational Rose preferred.
Applications:

a.. Financial development expertise preferred.
Architecture:

a.. Solid technical architectural experience and understanding is required.

I have an app with both a webforms and winforms front end. When I change the web.config file, eventually IIS\ASP.NET pick up the changes and all is well. With the WinForms GUI - when I change the .config file, I need a way to force the AppDomain to reload the new config settings. This doesn't need to be automatic cause I can control when the config file is updated. Does anyone know how to force a reload of a new config

Here I am learning WinForms and two months into it I learn there's a WPF API that is coming out. Is this WPF out yet, and is it a threat to WinForms, in the sense that all the library routines I memorize and/ or familiarize myself in WinForms will disappear in WPF? I did note in one early version of C#, the non-generic "ArrayList" was replaced by the generic and template <based List, but that kind of change is not a big deal. If WPF...
