Product Category: Development Tool
Manufacturer: Resco, Ltd
Where to Buy: DetailView 2.0 can be purchased directly from Resco.
Price: Standard Edition $99.95 USD, Professional Edition $299.95 USD, Professional Edition Site License $899.95 USD.
System Requirements: DetailView works with the .NET CF and integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio 2003. The control itself uses 124k of memory when deployed.

Pros:

• Completely integrates with Visual Studio 2003;
  
• Easy design time use;
  
• Strong support for Data Binding;
  
• Support for XML templates.

Cons:

• Multi-line textboxes don't have a visual indicator when they contain more lines than are visible. In fact there doesn't seem to be a way to scroll down past the last visible line unless you use the arrows on the SIP keyboard;
  
• There are no built-in radio button items;
  
• The Link item doesn't activate by tapping on the text, only by tapping on the ellipsis button. This would be a nice addition as you could create items that appear to be hypertext links within the DetailView.
  

Summary:
Resco's DetailView 2.0 is a control designed for use with the .NET Compact Framework. Its purpose is to provide an alternative and easy method for developing detail forms for user input.
