Bo --

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually, I'm not interested at design time, I'm interested while running the app.

Turns out, of course, that XMLToCursor still works -- but it does not include any properties that are for sub-classed objects -- which is what I'm really looking for.

Thanks anyway
