User Reviews

  • Very helpful controls that fill a large gap. Thanks for sharing.
  • It's really great stuff, I wish they had WPF support as well though.
  • Thanks a lot, library very helpful for me.
  • Very good. The Windows Shell is very complex and so much UI functionality is buried in the COM subsystem and not exposed via the .NET Framework, even as a subset for Windows-only applications. There is a Web Browser control wrapped in the Framework but not a Windows Explorer control and given my restricted budget, it hurts to think of paying over 200 $ to a third party (you know who you are :) ) for something that should be in .NET already!
