There are some components that I must edit everytime I use it in a project.
Or I must disable Autoresolve to prevent a component from bringing in other
components that are not needed. Creating an alternate component is time
consuming and not always possible to due since many Microsoft components
include resources that cannot be created using Component Designer. Is there
some way to export a component from the database so that it can be modified?

Thanks,

I usually prototype component to add additional features to the
original component. You can try adding in "conflict dependency" for
the components you dont want. I have no idea how it'll turn out.
Worth a shot tho.

Andrew,

Konstanin (KM) posted some tools on www.xpefiles.com that might help you a bit with extracting some component infos from DB.
But if you can obtain update for component that you are interested in then you will have these component original files before you
import them in DB.
