I already discussed about it here.

Interesting description of a 100% Managed Wizard Framework from Patterns & Practices by Daniel Cazzuline: “The Shadowfax Visual Studio Wizards are built on top of a managed framework for constructing wizards automatically from configuration files.

The whole wizard UI is built from the configuration file.”
