The Dashboard Manager Sample displays several of the Telerik RadControls for WinForms controls in a flexible framework that
could be adapted to many business or development scenarios. It shows how the developer
can leverage the controls in the suite to build a flexible user interface, allowing
them to concentrate on adding value through custom functionality.

    The Dashboard Manager allows the user to manage sets of “dashboard items.” You can
    save and retrieve your view for later use as well. A single dashboard item might
    be any number of things:</p>
<ul>
    <li>A graph of performance manager or other data</li>
    <li>A table of key business information </li>
    <li>The last ten lines from a log file </li>
    <li>The most recent image from a webcam</li>
    <li>The results of a continuous integration build process </li>
    <li>The latest critical error from an event log</li>
</ul>
<p>
    Each dashboard item is displayed in an individual ToolWIndow, so that they can be
    docked, hidden, floated, and so on using the services of the <strong>RadDock</strong>
    control. A group of dashboards is arranged into a view such as “Servers” or “Key
    Business Indicators” with the individual views being represented by tabs on a <strong>
        RadTabStrip</strong>
    control. The TabStrip has an additional small tab at the end that functions similarly
    to the “New” tab in Internet Explorer 7 to create a new view at runtime. Thus, there’s
    a three-level hierarchy: a dashboard consists of a set of views, each of which consists
    of a set of dashboard items. Controls highlighted:</p>
<ul>
    <li>RadMenuStrip </li>
    <li>RadToolStrip </li>
    <li>RadTabStrip </li>
    <li>RadDock </li>
</ul>
