    Cool Windows controls

    Currently I'm working on a Windows application (C#) where I'll need to
    create controls, like VU Meter, Sine Meter, switches, etc. What's the
    best technology to use to create those controls? Is GDI+ good for it?
    Also I'm looking into possibility of buying such controls. Can
    someone send me into the right direction?

    Thanks,
    -Bob

              Thanks guys for your reply.
              As far as do it yourself, is GDI+ would be the right technology to use
              to implement those types of controls? Do you know any good tutorials on
              the web or a book that would be helpful for this matter?

              Thanks,

                  Hello brosembob@yahoo .com,

                  yep, GDI+ is good, see samles and tutorials here http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/#GDI%2B
                  BTW, If u are only startind learinig this kind of stuff, I recoment to look
                  at XAML (Windows Presentation Framework), it's new UI that will be in Vista.
                  There are several books for XAML and you can download WinFX to try to use it
