MagForms for .NET provides .NET WinForms with the ability to be magnetized together similar to Winamp. By merely setting a few properties, your form instantly becomes a Windows appbar, just like the Windows taskbar. Also, the MagForms library includes the ability to automatically add an additional user-configurable button to your title bar. MagForms are non-intrusive. There are no base classes to inherit or interfaces to expose. MagForms not only snap together when they are moved next to each other, but also correctly snap to each other when a "magnetized" form is resized adjacent to another magnetic form. MagForms allow you to save and load the layout of forms to a file -- including the layout of appbars. With MagForms, it's easy to set which forms are the master (parent) magnetic draggable forms and which are the children dragged forms. With MagForms, minimizing/restoring magnetic forms minimizes and restores all forms that are currently magnetized together. Lastly, MagForms "solves" the problem of magnetized forms becoming orphaned off-screen if they become demagnetized (detached) by providing a RestrictMovement property which restricts a form to the visible desktop area. Source code is available too!

SmartLayouts is layout manager for Windows forms on .Net platform to ease the designing and development of GUI. It helps in arranging various winforms GUI elements and controls the behaviour of various elements when form is resized or repositioned.

GUI designing is often unnecessarily time-taking and annoying part of software development. Arranging controls in pixel-based designing proves to be annoying but still you don't get what you desired. Even after that you require manual coding for repositioning and resizing of controls for various resolutions. And if you need to change your GUI in the long run, your work increases exponentially. Although .Net provides basic layout managers, but they are insufficient for any professional GUI development.

SmartLayouts fills the gap left by .Net platform. It uses unique methodology and algorithm for almost all of your layouting task. Unlike many other similar solutions, it is natural. It doesn't come into your way of GUI designing and you generally work as before, but without bothering about pixel-perfect designing . And after that, adding SmartLayouts is a breeze. The result is resolution-independent, maintainable GUI within the least possible time.

With Xceed Editors for .NET, you are just a couple of mouse clicks away from creating unique and more powerful UIs. When dropped onto a form, the controls are automatically set up with the most common features and functionalities ready to go. Using Xceed’s convenient designers, just a few more mouse clicks let you customize many aspects of these controls.

It eight ready-to-use base controls:

- buttons
- calendars / multi-month calendars
- check boxes
- combo boxes / multi-column combo boxes
- date pickers
- horizontal and vertical scrollbars
- panels
- textboxes / masked textboxes

With features such as the combo box control’s entirely customizable multi-column support (provided by Xceed Grid for .NET technology) and the calendar control’s multi-month support, you have greater UI creation possibilities, out-of-the-box.

The most striking feature of these controls is a high degree of combinability: other Xceed editor controls (in fact any .NET control) can be embedded within them to create new ones. By using a WinPanel, any Windows Forms control can dropdown any other control, allowing for unlimited flexibility and innovation. So in addition to getting features that surpass what VS.NET offers, these controls can be combined to take your UI even further.

Also included is the VB.NET and C# source code of several sample composite controls. This is beneficial for two reasons. First, you can copy the sample code and use it for your own applications. Once this code has been adapted and tweaked, you basically have 10 extra controls, bringing the total to 18. Second, these supplemental composite controls show just how easy it is to create controls of your own that are unrivaled in the ways they let your end-users interact with your software.
