Thanks Pete! That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. I might download the eval and give it a try. Looks like a pretty extensive suite of tools/support. Thanks again, Waz :cool:

Hi- I'm about to embark on a new project, developing a couple of different tools and I don't know what C# Winforms Control set to use. In the past I've used Syncfusion controls (in my day job) to create Outlook style applications. I've also used Component One, but they're also too expensive. Also, I now prefer the look and feel of an Active Panel style approach where the application has a container (I Guess its an MDI Parent) and a user can turn off/on panels and drag them around, and access all the panels at once. I guess what I'd like to know is, what GUI Components do you use? What can people recommend? I'd prefer something free or very cheap, and something that looks good! I guess those things may be at odds. Any advice/tips/ideas you have would be greatly appreciated! Cheers Waz :)

Hi- I've created an ImageList, and a Toolbar. I've 'hooked up' each toolbar button to its corresponding Image from the image list. The images are visible in design time, HOWEVER, when I build and run the application, the Toolbar Button images are NOT visible! The buttons are there, but they are blank! Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? I've tried an imagelist of *.ico's and also an image list of *.gif's. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I've just had a look at TableStyles/ColumnStyles and will try it today. Cheers Warwick :) "I hear they've even got the internet on Computers now." - Homer Simpson

I'm really struggling trying to bind a Datagrid to a collection of objects. I understand that for each public property of the objects in the collection, a column will be displayed. But I don't want to display a column for all of the public properties, just some of them. And I also want to add columns to the datagrid for things like an image that is associated with one of the properties. How do you hide columns when binding to objects? How do you add columns to a datagrid when it is bound to a collection of objects? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
