Can I use the DSC Registration component to return an MDM Document from an .mdd file?

In Data Model 2, it is not possible to use the DSC Registration component to return an MDM Document from an .mdd file.

For example, if you look at the code in the MDM Explorer example Visual Basic application, you will see that it uses different functions to return an MDM Document using an MDSC and to return an MDM Document from an .mdd file:

▪MDSC. The MDM_OpenMDSCFromDialog function uses the DSC Registration component to return an MDM Document using an MDSC.

▪.mdd file. The MDM_OpenDocumentFromDialog and MDM_OpenDocumentFromFile functions use the MDM Document.Open method to return an MDM Document from an .mdd file.
