Hi Gerhard,

    Can you tell me a little more about the specific GUI tools available 
with C#.  I've recently started using MSVS C#, and so far found it 
fairly refreshing having struggled with MFC for years (although I still 
have to find a reference when converting from unsigned char to byte or 
char[] to string, etc.), but I'm really only familiar with the baseline 
GUI objects like buttons and edit boxes.  Are you talking about new 
add-in toolbox classes?

Thanks,

Tony
