I don't think it can generate code of any sort. You can export to various graphic formats and I see an Export to XML option.
But for me, the whole idea is to do the mock-up in a form that makes it clear to clients that it's just a picture. Once I've got buy-in, it's NBD to drop the controls on a form to match.
