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.

Yes, if you combine the individual products, not if you ask the flour to behave like an egg beause there's no "I" in "TEAM".
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.

Must be an alternate spelling of 'team' where there is an I.

But there is a "me", if you look hard enough.
Alternatively: Yes there is - it's hiding in the "A"-hole.

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.

I suppose it could be an idiom, but doesn't it translate better as "Great. Someone else will do it" ?
