    <p><strong>No, Microsoft does not provide a ready-made wizard control as part of the .NET Framework.</strong> You will need to build your own.</p> <p>There are several samples available on the web that can help get you started:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/SampleWizard.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cristi Potlog's Wizard Control for .NET</a> &nbsp;<sup><sub>(probably my favorite out of these)</sub></sup></li> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/WizardDemo.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">A Simple Wizard Control for .Net 2.0 with Full Designer Support</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vb/GNWizard.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GN Wizard Framework</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/ak_wizard.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">A .NET Wizard control</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/DesignTimeWizard.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Designer centric Wizard control</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/tswizard.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TSWizard - a wizard framework for .NET</a></li> </ul> <p><br> Of course, as you can see, the majority of those samples implement the old Wizard 97 interface, rather than the new Aero Wizards (found in Windows Vista and 7). I've seen one of those on Code Project, too:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/aerowizard.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Aero Wizard in VB.NET</a></li> </ul> <p>But perhaps the best implementation I've seen is found in the Windows Forms Aero library, available for download <a href="http://windowsformsaero.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> on CodePlex. The <a href="http://aerowizard.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Aero Wizard .NET Library</a> is another great option, also on CodePlex.</p> <p>Both of those are great looking, well-designed wizard controls, but neither of them will work properly on Windows XP (which doesn't support the Aero theme). The biggest problem you'll run into is ensuring that your implementation is fully backward-compatible, properly reverting to the Wizard 97 style when running on a version of Windows prior to Vista. I haven't seen a control that gets this right posted online yet.</p> <p><br> If spending money on a third-party control is an option, you might look into <a href="http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WinForms/Wizard/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">XtraWizard</a> by Devexpress or the <a href="http://divelements.co.uk/net/controls/wizardframework/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wizard Framework</a> by Divelements.</p> <p><br> But no matter which route you choose, I highly recommend following <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/uxguide/win-wizards" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft's Wizard guidelines</a>.</p>

    2. CO@Lalit: Yes, all the links I gave (except for the third-party controls at the bottom) are full versions and can be used in any project of your choice. To my knowledge, there are no restrictions on their use even for commercial apps. I'm not sure what you mean, though, by "dynamically creation of n - number wizards on the fly". You can show as many copies of the same wizard on the screen as you want, but if you want to built *different* wizards at run-time, you would do that just like you'd build different forms. You would need to add controls and set their properties in code.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
