I like choices too. Thats good. I'm glad Syncfusion created "real world app" controls for me to use and that I'm not stuck using Microsoft's own.

It still bothers me that MS decided to limit my ability to create an application that has a nice (IMO) GUI like VS2003.NET's IDE. I mean, I see their stuff every moment that I'm in VS2003.NET, yet I can't create the same look in my app with what they provide out of the box. Talk about a tease!

>The controls are better in VS2005 but they will never be better than a 3rd party control. 3rd party people specialize in what they do. Microsoft is more of a generalalist. Where the vendors are specialists. To me choice is better. I have lots of grids to choose from, tabs to choose from, etc.
