Write Properties Of Control To A Text File?

I want to loop through the controls on a given form, if those controls contain controls then loop on those controls, get the final control and write ALL of its properties to a text file under the form_Control Name. Finally when the form loads it reads in that textfile and sets its properties.

I dont think the properties are set up as a collection, and therefore would probably have to know what the properties are for every control and program for each control, but i am hoping there's an easier way.

I am looking for a way to fine tune my applications by expsoing the properties in a text file and be able to manipulate the controls through the controls textfile.
