Calling a parametrized constructor from XAML

Question

While using WPF i noticed that when i add a control to a xaml file, the default constructor is called. Is there a way to call a parametrized constructor.

Answer 1

No. Not from XAML.

Answer 2

.NET 4,0 brings a new feature that challenges the answer.
