This article makes some very good points about the design of a user interface.

If you want a state-of-the art user interface, take a look here:

I am not sure this can easily be used with PB however :-(.

We use controls from www.devexpress.com
They seem to work very hard to improve their controls.
The update rate lately was amazing and controls are really thorough.

I have only seen a few of the ASP.NET controls like their grid, pivotgrid(!) and schedule control (and a few ordinary things like panels)

The gridstuff is *really* dynamic, grouping by dragging a column onto the top bar.
Sum, count and such.
If you are doing this for a job, you may consider to check their demo's.

Is it only controls, or do they also deliver a complete "Windows Framework" (this is something like a  predefined collection of Splittterbars)?
