So if you're reading this, you're obviously wanting a sneak peak... well its more of a press release (even though I'm not press) in a way.  Right... the sneak peek...so you're wondering, what does Matt have in store?  Well, how about a new control added to the eWorld.UI Control Set!  WHOA! Another one?  Yes, another one...its called the AccordionPanel, which is a subclass of my popular CollapsablePanel control.

But Matt!?!? What so special about the AccordianPanel (AP)?  Well, the AP allows you to have 1-N number of CollapsablePanel controls, in which if another AP control is expanded, and you expand another AP, all other AP's in a group are collapsed.  But, whats the big deal...well it can make a really cool menu system, similar to that of GotDotNet or, it may even remind you of Outlooks sidebar, that is if you set it up properly.

The only thing is, its not available just yet.  I'm currently working on v1.9 of my control set, which will include the AP control, and a ton of updates to my CollapsablePanel control.  Not to mention my never ending expanding of the CalendarPopup.  So, I guess the only sneek peak you'll get is if you become a Beta Tester, but don't fret... my beta versions are usually released publically around 2 weeks after a beta release.  So, until later...

Hello to everyone!  My name is Matt Hawley and I'm the sole developer at Excentrics World producing those wonderful controls we all love.  I wanted to take a second and thank Scott for giving me some blogspace over here and give you a brief history of me. 

I've been working with .NET since late Beta 2, and have loved every minute of it.  Just recently I passed my last test to obtain MCAD for Microsoft .NET, and it only took me 8 months to do it -- I just couldn't get myself to pull through the Windows Test.  Over the last year I've found my prime passion, building Custom Server Controls.  It all started with CalendarPopup, and I just started finding more useful controls that everyone has a passion to use, but no time to ever build. 

Hopefully my stay here at Weblogs @ ASP.NET will produce more popularity for my controls and future endeavors and help me build a more robust set of controls.  So, if you haven't been by to check out my controls, do so now, and enjoy the cost - FREE!
