Windows Forms and XML

[mg712]

I would like to use XML to describe what type of controls my window forms will contain and also how those controls should be layed out. Does someone know where I can find information about how to go about implementing that?

I've been looking into XForms but I'm not sure if I can apply it to windows forms. Thanks for any help.

1. You can code a method which takes a parameter the base form of your forms and iterate through the Controls collection and retrieve information about each control sending it to a XML file where the control name is the tag and type, size, layout etc are attributtes.
2. Wait for the XAML and MSBuild and you will see in a XAML file the things about you are asking.
