        Dim formDesigner = New Alternet.FormDesigner.Wpf.FormDesignerControl()
        formDesigner.AutoSaveToSource = False
        formDesigner.DesignedContentChanged += AddressOf Designer_DesignedContentChanged
    End Sub

    Private Sub Designer_DesignedContentChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        Dim designer = TryCast(sender, FormDesignerControl)

        If designer IsNot Nothing Then
            designer.Save()
        End If
    End Sub

When this property value is false, the changes need to be written to the underlying source using the Save method.
