RadControl: Enable the out-of-process .NET Framework WinForms designer
We should enable the out-of-process designer in .NET Framework projects so that old third party 32-bit and ActiveX/COM controls can be loaded inside Visual Studio 2022.

Hi Gilles Beraudo,

Thank you for the provided feedback. Indeed, this will be a good improvement to our controls.

We also see the OOO designer as a good way to modernize, and avoid conflicts that happens today with more deterministic code generation provided by Roselyn as described in:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/winforms-codegen-update/

 We see that has a major way to remove some risk and helping modernizing our (very) old winform application.

This is our scenario: our winform application is 32bits because it relies on 3rd party 32 bits and ActiveX.

As far as we understand, the 'out-of-process' is a prerequisite if we want to continue on the VS.NET 2022 and future version.
