Good chessboard control for .Net?

[jesper_nielsen]

Hello all you GUI writers out there!

I have started working on a chess analysis .Net application.

And for this purpose I am looking for a .Net GUI component for displaying a chess board. The Rolls-Royce version would be something similar to the variation board in Arena!

I have made a few searches on the internet, but I have not found anything really useful.

I am pretty green in GUI programming, so I would like to avoid having to write it myself from scratch.

Kind regards,
Jesper

You didn't mention what programming language you wanted for the code. A possible starting place is the C# source to SharpChess:

Thank you very much for the link! I have downloaded the source and I will be definitely looking at it!

For source code i write in C#, so hopefully I should be able to decipher the code!

Having looked at a few possibilities, there are not really any simple components that fits the requirement.

It is like shooting sparrows with cannons!

So in my case, where I only want to draw the board on the screen, nothing more, the simplest way is probably to just use a chess font like Chess Merida.
