Sure you just don't see past pure data to the user. What if you were selling clothing and your shopping cart had animated presentations of your stock? Colors could be swapped out in a heart beat?

----------------------------------

The vector grapics really come in handy with resize of your controls.

I don't have all day to do into this detail. I work for a digital print house where we get 5000 new docs a day to print for people. I have to present to workers what the USER expects to receive in the end, so a quick glance at the screen will make their work faster.

I can swap out 20 binding choices as well as show the user BOTH sides of the page when you lay the document flat. My pages curl as you would grab them in real life and if you had an animation drawing on your pages they would play if you jumped from page 1 to page 20.

My use of controls for presentation of data for the Financial group is what I like. they are over the collections and can see in a thin ribbon above the data of the customers order & payment frequency. This moves right & left so they can see more.

It is pretty cool to present business data in a dynamic way. Gone is that green bar paper, right? Why keep your interfaces captured to that time?

binding to your objects I?????? types. This can be SWITCHED very easily and that is not at all part of the GUI.



>>- Microsoft is not using resources to further develop WinForms. All new work is being done on WPF


well what if your design could be leveraged in a WEB environment? This shuld all roll forward to Silverlight quite easy. Now that is something to not DISCOUNT as a who cares.
