Hi,

I have been working on a project where we are creating UI at runtime with our own controls. We want to have visual studio type ui designer where client can drag and drop the controls and position them. We prefer to do this in wpf as we want the xaml code of the generated ui. Xaml is xml code so we can move the generated xaml through out our application and bind that generated xaml in different modules through resource dictionary at runtime. Please suggest any pointers? Is this possible to do?

Thanks

What do you mean "how"? By doing appropriate software development work, similar to that Microsoft did. Now when WPF is already created, this is not such a huge task, but would be still quite a serious work, a lot of it. First, I wonder: why? Yes, I can imagine you have some good reasons, but to you really have them? If you do, you could share some ideas on what you want to achieve and why. If you don't have these ideas, who would like to think at your problem, waste time on nothing real?

You really need to show something real, at least explain some particular concerns, to make people thinking at your problem, if it even a problem at all...
