We have developed a custom displaylayout file for our application. Rather than have each developer remember to choose the same preset everytime they add a grid (or all have to change their designer preferences to point to the same location) we would  like to be able to de-serialize the XML file into an UltraGridLayout object. When I try to do that I get an exception that states the 'Bands' property cannot be reflected.

Is there a way around this? Has anyone figured out a way to do this? We'd rather do this than have a "skin'. If we could do this, then perhaps we could figure out how to get this into the web.config, etc.
