Can I convert XML/XAML into WPF controls at runtime?

Is there a way to take a chunk of XML/XAML and load it as WPF controls at runtime?

yes. what you want to look at is the XamlReader class, specefically, XamlReader.Load

E.g:

string xaml = 
@"<DataTemplate>
    @"<TextBlock Text=""{{Binding Converter={{StaticResource templatesConverter}}, {0} }}""/>
  @"</DataTemplate>";

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(xaml));

ParserContext context = new ParserContext();

context.XmlnsDictionary.Add("", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation");

context.XmlnsDictionary.Add("x", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml");

DataTemplate datatemplate = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Load(stream, context);
