Daniel, Geennadiy: How about if we start a new project on Novell Forge and place that control under SVN?
That way anybody could help you get a nice control quicker. I am myself interested in the existence of such a control, with some posible additions to what you have already talked about: 1. Booleans (check boxes) 2. Foreign keys (drop-down menus without the option for new strings) 3. Different number formats (#.###,## , #,###,###.## , # , ##% , etc) I am only interested in a Gtk# fat client control, not in a ASP.NET one, but that is a personal choice.
