I am starting a new project and I need some very pretty controls. The ones that come with VS2010 aren’t going to cut it.

This application will be very simple, but I want it to look very appealing.

Any suggestions for 3rd party controls that can help me do that?

There are a number of big suppliers:

All of these have WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET and Silverlight controls so you can choose how you build your application.

You’ll find full pricing info on their sites – I won’t quote it here as it will become out of date very quickly.

You might even find some specific controls on Code Project.
