Awesome Looking Windows Forms Apps

Friday, December 02, 2005 12:15 AM

If you've ever looked at some of the cool Microsoft applications (or the operating itself) and wished you could make apps just as slick, you can.  Mike Dobler has created an exceptional set of visual components (controls) to create tasks (like in Movie Maker and Windows Explorer), login controls, better lists, and much more.  These run on .NET 1.1 or 2.0, play nicely in the Visual Studio Toolbox, and can really give a polished look to your applications.  The best part, is they are free!  When you see how nice they can look, you'll wish you'd been using them longer!  They've been around for some time, but I didn't test drive them until recently.  Don't make the same mistake!  Take a look at: http://dnn.steepvalley.net/Default.aspx?tabid=69.
