Hi All

Thought I should post a screenshot of my little database app that I am currently writing.
Still way off from being finished, but it's my first 'real' Visual C# app that I made.

Also thought I could get some comments on the design as it probably is a bit crap and I expect mixed opinions, but that's why I post it here. I can do with a bit of design influence from fellow programmers here.

Oh, I used Fireworks to draw most of the buttons and panels and stuff so they are not very good as I am not very skilled at design.hehe

Definitely looks interesting. Can I ask why you didn't just use the standard Windows controls and made your own? It's more fun to make your own, but users generally expect their applications to look the same - otherwise it can be difficult to tell the difference between textboxes and labels, buttons and pictures, etc.

Thanks man.

I will be the only person using this program at work, maybe someone else a bit later, so its cool.
I was also playing around with resource files while doing the app.
The main reason for making the app is that is should cut my daily work time, meaning more time to learn C#.

Makes sense. If it's just for you, as long as you don't have any problems, I can't see why you would need to change it.

I took into concideration the point you made on the buttons and txt boxes and how they appear.
I decided that the design actually sux and am now busy implementing a nice, not too colorful interface.

(watch this space) hehe

No really, tanks for the heads up Ooble.
