G'day Matt, The Infragistics set of controls are fairly nice, and up to date set of controls, with a huge emphasis on the skinning \ styling of the app.
Here is a list of the controls. http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/winforms.aspx#Overview If you want a running app, you could always download the demo and it has a huge amount of samples with source in there. Hope this helps somewhat..

Screenshots will do, a working app I could show someone would be better. This is a bit of a strange request so I should probably explain a little... We've built a product using WPF but we have lots of constraints imposed by the environment we're coding for. This has caused a lot of extra work with more to come. As such, I don't think WPF is the right choice and I'm trying to convince my manager that it's worth considering switching to WinForms which is much better suited to this environment. He's not a developer and is fairly visually oriented, and he's worried that if we were to use WinForms then we may not be able to produce a good GUI / UX. I've assured him that this isn't the case but some good examples would help. Cheers.
