What does your Admin UI look like?
-
I am trying to come up with idea's on a UI for my admin section and was wondering if some of you hd any cool looking or very effecient designs that you could share. The part im working on now is just a basic add/edit/delete users. I figured I would use just a datagridview that showed all the current users, then upon clicking a row it populates some controls for editing...pretty basic. Which is why I am looking for idea's to freshen it up. Any takers? Screenshots if possible.. Thanks,

Did you take a look at DevExpress and/or Infragistic controls? eh... is it in .NET ? :doh:
Yep. I use both. I was thinking more along the lines of design placement. I didn't really want something typical. I have already created a prototype of a basic layout. I might use that if I have too, I just get bored with same ole stuff and wanted to see if anyone designed something different than normal. I love Infragistics though. They have great looking controls.

I think the same thoughts went through the Vista developers and look how that turned out... On the other hand they did end up with lots of pretty gradients!

hehe I hear ya. Well I'm not opposed to using standard stuff. Just thought I would give the opportunity for someone that did a really kick-butt design to show it off and at the same time give me an idea of something new. No worries. Back to the basics *snore* Thanks for the replies.

I'm currently building this one[^]. On the left pane, I put some activities shortcuts (first bar, database operations; second bar, related activities; third bar, filtering; and fourth bar, miscellaneous. On the right bar, I have a window with a list view and the forms (views) to input and modify the data. This is how I usually write administration programs. Ok, it's not a shinning look and feel now, but that's the idea.

You could always embed the IE Web Browser control into a window and create an HTML based ADMIN page that could be "modified" via CSS. You know, if you're so bored with the std. Windows UI and whatnot. Just a thought.

Thanks for the reply and screenshot Fernando, looks great. the placement you used is exactly what I was thinking for one of my area's. There will be alot of information that needs to display so layout will be critical here. Thanks again for sharing this.
