Extreme Interface Design

Only to demonstrate the extremes to which developers can push the presentation capabilities of DBI's controls. Our technical product group was pushing the limits ... in this case of Solutions Schedule for .NET and came up with some interesting UI designs. Wouldn't exactly call these examples of good UI, however, they do demonstrate the extent developers have control over DBI's component products.
