SandDock Control ..

I have been using the new SandDock Control by DivElements, and along with SandBar, i provides the basic UI Elements for Paternoster Notepad 2.

This is my little text editor, and once complete and debugged, it will be posted to my web site with complete Source Code and credits.

I am using a lot of freeware and GPL components, most notably the ICSharpDevelop.TextEditor control, and some nifty routines from VBAccelerator.

I am also creating documentation for the software.

Keep an eye on this spot for news and updates ...

VB.NET 2005

I have just been looking at Visual Basic .NET 2005 Express, and I was glad to see that Microsoft is including Office 2003 style icons, as well as an Office 2003 style menu system out of the box.

Of course, for my VB.NET 2003 work, I like to use Divelements SandBar (http://www.divil.co.uk) and the Gyfz Office 2003 16x16 icons.

I was a professional developer for 11 years, but all of the software was always licensed to the company.

Because of the prices of these items, I can get the tools I need at a price I can personally afford.

Thank you DivElements, Microsoft and Glyfz.
