While working on a client project earlier this year we used a free suite of controls from Component Factory called Krypton Toolkit. This toolkit served us really well to provide a consistent UX. One of my favorite features of this toolkit was the ButtonSpecs which could be added to almost every other control so that we could have text boxes with embedded buttons etc. How does this help you ask or why does it matter. Well if your like me, totally clueless on how to deal with resizing docking and anchoring, you will love ButtonSpecs.
The other benefits of ButtonSpecs are for context menus, validation, lookups and other such things.
So if your doing windows forms development and are in need of a consistent UX for nix you cant go past the Component Factory’s offerings.
Additionally if your a MVP or own a blog with significant subscribers then you will be able to get the Phil Wright is giving away the entire Component Factory suite for free for you.
