The VG.net Picture designer, integrated in Visual Studio .NET, can export to an xml file in the MyXaml format. MyXaml is XAML for Windows Forms developers. Originally we wished to use the MS-XAML format, but the resulting markup was clumsy. So we switched to MyXaml, a generic format for serializing any .net object graph. In this XAML wiki page on channel9, I describe the problems we had with MS-XAML. Go to the wiki page and scroll down to the section titled “MS-XAML Is Neither Generic Nor Domain-Neutral”.
