What do you consider to be the best examples of website navigation and why? I'm trying to design a secondary navigation menu and I need a little inspiration, but I'm also interested just in general about learning best practices for navigation and information display. What are some of the more unique solutions you've seen? Links and varie...
Hello everybody! I have a request to display VRML models within a .NET application. Does someone know an easy way, maybe with standard .NET components, to achieve this? What are the issues I maybe have to face when representing VRML within an application? Thank you very much! Michael ...

I'm making my first WPF application, and its purpose is to generate 6 images from some data. Ideally I'd like to display them in the window, with little "forward" and "back" buttons, and a text indicator for where we are in the image-stack. Kind of like a "mini Windows Photo Gallery."

I'm trying to think an interface for a time-keeping system that will let users see "at a glance" how much time still needs to be completed. This is complicated by the fact that there are no fixed hours - employees must work at least 6 hours on any given week day, and at the end of each month should have worked 7.5 hours for each week da...
If you program for a nontechnical audience, you find yourself at a high risk that users will not read your carefully worded and enlightening error messages, but just click on the first button available with a shrug of frustration. So, I'm wondering what good practices you can recommend to help users actually read your error message, ins...
In the programming of a table-based application module (i.e. the user mostly enters tabular data in an already laid-out table), how would you reject user input for a given cell? The scenario is: the user edits the cell, enters something (text, picture, ...) and you want them to notice when they finish editing (hitting enter, for example...
