Changing Styles with the times (Answers and Thoughts)

I've been discussing how to load styles and new UI designs into an Avalon application, specifically focusing on the challenge of connecting the UI to the code-behind class when loading XAML at runtime. While the XAML loader can parse properties, it doesn't automatically handle event delegate generation and element naming like compiled code/BAML. One idea is to have UI designers create BAML, allowing the app to load new compiled XAML and use the same code-behind class. Another approach involves designing multiple layouts sharing the same code-behind class. I'm also exploring loading a XAML file with resources at runtime and assigning them dynamically. More to come on my findings!
