I*'ve never been a fan of country music, especially the whiney sort that he pioneered, but he was truly a great entertainer. If there is any logical reason for Bakersfield to exist, Merle's it. There's nothing else there worth seeing.

I've come up with a WPF wizard component that seems to work fairly well. It has several configurable features:
- An option navigation panel (a list box that lets you pick any wizard page in any order)
- Optional buttons (all buttons are optional, but they all default to being displayed)
- Optional display of header (I call it a banner)
- In the banner, optional display of subtitle and banner image (compiled as a resource in the application assembly itself)
- Ability to intermix linear and conditional (based on some condition on the current page) page navigation via the Prev/Next buttons
- Most of the mechanics of the code is black-boxed, but most of the methods and properties are virtual so the programmer can change anything he wants.
- The wizard itself is implemented as a user control in its own DLL assembly (and the base window and page classes live there, too)
- There's a SharedData object that is an ObservableCollection of what amounts to key/value pairs (acts like a Session variable container on a web site), and allows you to share objects between pages, the parent window, and the wizard control itself.
I know there are a bunch of other WPF wizard implementations, but I figure you can never have enough choices. Now comes the hard part - writing a supporting article...

I never understood that remark. Is a team not a collection of individuals?

Well, I wouldn't eat flour on it's own but I would eat the rest as individual units.

There's no "U" in TEAM either. If both U and I are not in the team, it is not our problem, is it?

Only the Team Manager counts I guess, the rest of the team are considered sub-human and thus not worthy of using the first person singular pronoun.

So, was CodeProject a 'team'? Is that how Chris treated you?

We had 1-member teams where that individual would be the team manager. In other words, a company fully run by managers, who drank espresso all day long only pausing to make deeply intellectual observations about modern humanity.

But there is a "me", if you look hard enough.

Thanks for that. I've already stolen it and posted it elsewhere. I spent most of my working life being told this tale by Marketing morons and clueless managers, and I really tried to be a team player and live by this adage. But the fact remained that I acting alone consistently accomplished more in a month than any team managed in a year. Now that I've retired to become a gunsmith, I no longer have to listen to Marketing a$$hats or pay even lip service to their asinine adages.

Allow me to say: Congratulations Roger! Making money from a hobby is a blast! Too bad you are far from New Jersey as I may use a gunsmith for some modifications I have in mind.
