i want the ability to create a UI designer (Winforms/WPF/UI/User interface type agnostic).
The requirment is that it should be possible to add properties to a device and it should automatically turn up in the UI.The addition of properties would be via a admin screen.
eg. there is a UI object called Order.It should be possible to add a property called ordersoomething to the order object from the admin screen and it should automatically reflect in the User interface.
i am looking for something that is already available (Open Source/existing stuff etc).
Edit based on a couple if comments.
What i mean by UI agnostic is that i am looking for a architectural pattern. That would fit well.it should not matter if it is Webforms or Silverlight or Winforms.

Since you tagged this C#, make sure you know about VS LightSwitch
There is a DevExpress Application Frameowrk, something called XAF, see the Developer Express website, it's not for free but not too expensive considering what you are asking, I am not sure if it only targets WindowForms...

what c# project must i choose in order to create an instant messaging application in visual studio.
pls help.
Thanks. :)
You have to plan a lot of different things during application design process. The main project anyway, of course, should be a windows form application or a WPF... then, eventually some libraries.
This question is far too common and will be closed soon.
But to give you some suggestions for directions you can go next:
Design you overall architecture first
Are there technical restrictions for the UI?
You have basically following options: Console App, WPF, WinForms, Silverlight, ASP
Since you said in a comment that the app should be a web app, maybe you want create an ASP.Net application.

I have some source code in C# that lies in a number of folders.
I need to understand this code as it wasn't written by me. Not only that, I want to learn how enterprise applications are coded. The best way to do that is if I have a graphical representation of classes, inheritance etc. I should be able to see the source code in multiple layers: e.g how classes relate to each other, how properties/methods in these classes relate and call each other, etc. I've heard of enterprise architecture and checked it out, but I don't understand what I've read.
Can anyone suggest something else?
Have you looked at NDepend? It can show you all the dependencies withing the code - eg through graphs;

Simply use Microsoft Debug Canvas to get acquainted with the solution.
If you are using Visual Studio right click on project and choose "View Class Diagram".

I created an item template that generates a .CS file and adds it to the project. I want to create a DESIGNER that is shown everytime the user tries to open this .CS file from the Solution Explorer, just like XX.EDMX and XX.Dsigner.cs
?
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
The short answer is given in the VSSDK reference (on MSDN) page on Designer Initialization and Metadata Configuration page (all keywords are linked on the page itself):
A VSPackage should handle designer initialization by:
Creating an object implementing the DesignSurfaceExtension class.
Register the class implementing DesignSurfaceExtension as providing support for the VSPackage's designer extensions by applying instances of DesignSurfaceExtensionAttribute, ProvideObjectAttribute and ProvideServiceAttribute to the class providing the VSPackage's implementation of Package.
Unfortunately the long answer is going to be extremely long, and in the absence of genuinely good documentation, involve a lot of trial and error. A quick search didn't show any complete examples, so if you're willing/able to, it'd be great if you could share what you figure out.

I want to create an application which can copy the tool tip (the tool tips which are shown on the current desktop/window) if I press hot keys. So how can I track whether the current desktop having a tool tip.
First, its not possible to use the Managed.Net API to access windows in other applications so you will have to do somthing a bit different.
I guess you could use the Win32 API to enumerate windows and find those of the class Tooltip_Class32. Then you'd have to read the text on them.
You can enum windows as described on SO here and on PInvoke.net here.
If you limit to just the Tooltip_Class32 then you will only get the tool tip windows.
I'm not sure how windows contructs a tool tip. I'm guessing you can read the text from the tool tip or from some child control window by using the SendMessage API with the WM_GETTEXT message like here.
That should get you started, I've never actually done it myself but it seems feasible.

HI ,
I am currently trying to learn more about custom controls and how to use them etc. i have come across iTemplate interface and was hoping that someone could better explain its use and point me toward a good example implementation. From what i have found it allows you to change how an asp.net control will display items. ive tried searching code project etc for a good example but none explain it well. Id ideally like a very basic example and a more complex one.
thanks

ITemplate: Defines the behavior for populating a templated ASP.NET server control with child controls. The child controls represent the inline templates defined on the page. (taken from MSDN).
Take a look at these great tutorials: Developing Custom ASP.NET Server Controls or Templated Server Control Example.
