my company uses wx.NET for a new project and we also use the XMLResource
class. We didn't have any problems to use it for creating dialogs out of xrc
files.

I also wrote the class wrapper for wxXmlResource in wx.NET. The use of
wx.XmlResource differs a little from that of wxXmlResource: I removed the
Get() Method which returns the global resources object. So instead of the
C++ code for wxWindows:
wxXmlResource::Get()->Load("rc/resource.xrc");

the C# code for wx.NET is:
xmlResource = new XmlResource("file.xrc", XmlResourceFlags.XRC_USE_LOCALE);

To load a dialog you have to write:
dlg = xmlResource.LoadDialog(this, "dlg1");

Instead of:
wxXmlResource::Get()->LoadDialog(&dlg, this, "dlg1");

If you have any question about wx.XmlResource don't hesitate to ask me.
