Xceed SmartUI for WinForms v3.6 Documentation
Welcome to Xceed SmartUI for WinForms v3.6

Xceed SmartUI for WinForms provides the visual controls you need to create user-friendly, state-of-the-art WinForms applications quickly and easily. It supports real themed or simulated WinXP, Office XP, Office 2003, and classic Windows styles.

Xceed SmartUI for WinForms offers an incredible amount of flexibility over the look and feel of its controls. Through the use of a rock-solid and lightweight core control, user interfaces built with it end up very fast, glitch-free and use minimal resources. The entire product is written in 100% native C# code to fully take advantage of what the .NET Framework has to offer.

Configuring the controls can be done entirely through the real-time WYSIWYG designer, which even lets you add items to your controls so you can see what they will look like without having to compile and run your project.

These and many other unique and "developer-friendly" features make Xceed SmartUI for WinForms the absolute essential tool for .NET Windows Forms user interface development.

Xceed has been making high-quality components since 1994, and with the release of Xceed SmartUI for WinForms we proudly continue this tradition. The component has been completely redesigned from the ActiveX version and even the first two .NET editions to offer the industry's most intuitive and   flexible object model.

The library comes with full support for VB.NET and C#. To increase development momentum, the library’s classes integrate seamlessly with the .NET base class library and the component offers comprehensive Visual Studio style documentation.

The product is only available in Xceed Ultimate Suite through a subscription that delivers much more than just a perpetual license for versions received during the subscription. You also get a year of great services: expert priority support and access to new versions, new features, and bug fixes, as well as any new products added to the suite during the subscription. Additional years can be added at a discounted price at the time of purchase or before the subscription expires; a new subscription is required after it has expired.
