Design information into xml

[Jon Slaughter]

Is it possible to get VS.NET 2k5 to export all design information into xml
for dynamic user interfaces at execution time?

I'm wanting to write some custom controls that can be highly configurable
and the configuration data can be changed at runtime(for skinning effects)
or even the whole control by changing the dll(into something that uses the
same interface). But all the design information is stored.

So instead of VS.NET creating C# code such as "this.button1.Location = new
Point(30,20)" it would store it in an xml that is not embedded at compile
time. Is this possible or will I have to do it all myself?

Thanks,
Jon
