C# Question on graphics

[ghostman11]

i was wondering if anyone knew where i could download some free/open sorce gauges and the like for visual C#. i am writing a program for the incubators and wanted to spice it up with some graphics like thermometers etc. after searchoing for a few days i cant find any free ones! anybody got any ideas?

hi ian thanks for that but i am not after clipart i have seen and used some things like thermometers that you pick from the c# toolbox and they alter depending on the reading like a real thermometer but i can only find realy exspensive ones ($800+) i just thought there might be gauges and that wich were open sorce but it dosnt look like it!!! so i might abandon my plan and just have a boreing form type program!!!

good to know ian, at present i am lookingfor simple toolbox drop in's and once i get better i can look at doing my own, if i can master making my own from clipart it would be better as there is some great clip art about
