Hello all,
i have loaded assemblies from the following XML file and
<suit>
<assemblies>
<assembly name="SUITContainers" version="1.0.0.0" culture="neutral" publickeytoken="b09fdef67bf60879"/>
</assemblies>
<codebehind type="Sample_Application.SampleApp, Sample Application" />
<suitform text="My First Suit App" width="400" height="200" backcolor="DarkGray">
</suitform>
</suit>
and i need help in setting properties of control,
  // Iterate through and create form controls
          foreach (XmlNode controlNode in rootNode.ChildNodes) {
              if (controlNode.Name != "assemblies" && controlNode.Name != "codebehind") {
                  string controlTypeName = controlNode.Name;
                  foreach (Assembly asm in loadedAssemblies) {
                      foreach (Type t in asm.GetTypes()) {
                          if (t.Name.ToLower() == controlTypeName) {
                              ISuitControl controlObj = ((ISuitControl)Activator.CreateInstance(t));

// Setting form Properties, like back color etc/..
    SuitForm form = null;
      ArrayList values = new ArrayList();
      Type t = control.GetType();
      PropertyInfo[] properties = t.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
        //object[] attrib = t.GetCustomAttributes(false);
            object[] Attribs;
            string val;
            //Get properties
            foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties) {
                //Get properties tagged with Custom Attributes
                Attribs = property.GetCustomAttributes(true);
                foreach (object OAttrib in Attribs) {
                    if (OAttrib.GetType().Equals(typeof(SuitProperty))) {
                        //val = node.OwnerDocument.CreateAttribute(property.Name.T oLower().ToString());
                        MethodInfo mInfo = property.GetGetMethod();
                        val = mInfo.Name.ToString();
                        string vals = mInfo.Invoke(control, null).ToString();
                        System.Drawing.ColorConverter colConvert = new ColorConverter();
                        ((SuitForm)control).BackColor= (System.Drawing.Color)colConvert.ConvertFromString ("red");//vals);

                        break;
                    }
                }

There is no code in there to add the control to the form, e.g. this.Control.Add(control);
