UI Frameworks/Toolkits

Hi, apologies if this question is a little too programming centric, but if it is please let me know. I'm putting together a very lightweight monitoring program that will be used to display information from our build/continuous integration server on a large monitor in the office. The aim is to give info about improvements in code coverage, number of acceptance tests passing etc. At the moment it just uses a very basic Windows Form which monitors the server, updates a label with the text needed (at the moment just whether the build succeeded or failed). This original effort was always intended to be a very short-term solution, and doesn't seem to be a nice way at all and so I'm now trying to find something that will get me up and running with a minimum of fuss. Since all data is stored in XML I did have a look for an HTML view that would be able to apply a stylesheet and generate an HTML representation. I've also looked briefly at MyXaml, but without really playing around with it I don't know whether it's really suited for what I'm after. So, I'm after any suggestions. The only requirements being that it needs to be .NET, and free/open-source. Is this the kind of thing MyXaml is intended for? Are there any other things I should be looking at? For instance, any kind of vector drawing type toolkits that would let me draw text and very simple lines etc.? -- Paul MS Messenger: paul -at- oobaloo-co-uk
