<http://xkcd.com/378/>Also, this is the price we pay for using designers. They create code that is useful for the tool, not the developer. Back in the old-school days of Java at uni we have a widget-factory that would create our controls for us. You could ask it for a button and who really knows what class it gives you as long as it inherits from ButtonBase. That way you could make a change to the widget factory and change the controls being used everywhere. Having said that, the designer lets you create a screen in 10 minutes that might have taken a few hours in the java days so the trade-off works both ways.
