Abstract
Custom controls are a key theme in Windows Forms development. They can help you improve encapsulation, simplify your programming model, and make your user interface more “pluggable” (so that you can swap out a control and replace it with a completely different one without rewriting the rest of your application). Of course, custom controls have other benefits, including the way they can transform a generic window into a slick, modern interface with eye-catching graphics.
