Thanks Griff, I knew it had to be her but I just couldn't see the artist.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

As kids I used to drag her to museums, she dragged me to art galleries...

Nope, I'm sorry if I jumped the gun, when you would have got it soon!

Today i was exploring the visual studio toolbox and just count that there are almost 100 controls are provided by microsoft for web development + they have around 20-30 validation extender if we include ajax control toolkit options. i wondered that i have hardly used 40-50 controls in my projects during my 4 years of programming experience. may be they don't fit in project need or i don't exactly know how to use some particular control. i also remember that on some of controls i tried them just to see how they works and may use in the future but don't actually used them ever i.e. view multi view and adrotater.
now a days we all are moving with Some light weight development and mostly used html controls and jquery/other techniques to reduce the rendering time on the browser even in the asp.net but i really would like to start learning all of the controls which are provided in the tool box when i get some free time.
just wanted to share is it me only or you also feel the same.???

I never used them for any of my projects and checked a few of them only...

Its not only you..there are may still be lots of people who have not used some of the controls in their years of development experience....
Still share your knowledge when you gain some by trying out some controls..It may still be useful for atleast one person...at some point of time!!!

I prefer custom controls according to my need instead of MS controls. I also try to use HTML controls if possible.

yes mostly we used HTML controls but sometime it may possible that we build our own user control based on some specific need.. at the same time there is a possibility that ms controls exactly provide the same feature with easy properties and attributes but we don't use them because we don't know how to use it or we just ignore.
if we at least know something about each controls it can be useful when we take a decision to build a user controls. sometimes creating a user control takes long development time and the ms control provide the same feature with less efforts...
just a thought....

Seems like since console based companies (Like Playstation and XBox) still have not mastered the playing platform to this day. As I myself agree they will always be lacking in the area of getting true committed PC gamers. I mean really, as a gamer who would want to play on a console when you get so much more out of a PC?
Well I believe that gap might now be filled and the remaining of the people will be going for the Steam OS[^] System. Well that would be my opinion.
What would be your take on all this?

Is Steam OS going to be as much of a PITA as Steam itself? If so, I rather gouge my own eyeballs out...

Why do I suspect that a Valve forum might not be completely unbiased...

I'm intrigued, what is it about Steam that irks you? I've never had any complaints myself.

Just about everything, really.
I first met it in dial up days, with Half Life. Steam spent so much time updating itself - before it even got to updating the game - that I never got to play it until I bought an XBox 360.
It slows your computer, it crashes, it insists on a net connection at all times, it spends forever updating itself (even now) it won;t even let you own the copy of the software you bought - as in you can;t even sell it if it's not a good game for you because once you install it, it won't install anywhere else.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti DRM, or pro piracy, but the Steam attitude is "You are a criminal, I will stop you" which is wrong - particularly when I paid money for the game...

I'm firmly committed to gaming on the PC - many games support mod's, and options simply not possible on the consoles.
Plus, a decent PC has performance which mightily outclasses even the latest consoles.
