The translation for the XML in my first example content page.

' Passing `Nothing` as the first arg of Set<AttributeName> methods indicates
' that the compiler couldn't convert the attribute text to the indicated type
' at compile time. If I had written `FontSize="16"`, that line would read:
' `temp1_1_1.SetFontSize(16.0, "16.0", Nothing)`
' The third argument is the value produced by an embedded expression, if it
' doesn't naturally convert to the first arg type at compile time. If I had
' written `Text=<%= New Binding("Name") %>`, that line would read:
' `temp1_1_2.SetText(Nothing, Nothing, New Binding("Name"))`
