Hi Mike,
Well, this has been an issue for me a while ago; but unfortunately i
could not get started on the project. However, I have collected some
usefull links about the subject, and among the recommendation of Geoff,
I can give you the following links for an introduction to subject

And on the subject; you basicly have two options, to use the designer
framework provided by ms, or to build it all from scratch; however, if
you choose the second option, there are many more points to consider;
for a lot of issues for which ms has provided some method.
So, I suggest you to use the existing framework; that was my decision;
but as I have written, I could not find the time to get started
Regards
Seref
