Mr. X.

Hello.
Is there any way to save a control + all of it's components to a file (or
give it some representation as a long string).

Thanks :)

A control is an object with properties. You save the properties of the
object to a XML file manually. You instantiate the control/object (new),
and you populate the control/object from the XML file that represents
the controls properties. XML is string.

Maybe you're looking at object serialization to save a serializable
object on the disk. This search may lead you to start:
