New Version of blackmarket project "ASPX Controls for blackpearl"

I'm working on a new version of my blackmarket project.  It started out simply enough.  I was just going to enhance it a little bit to handle the new Out of Office feature released with 807.  It was going to be 100% backwards compatible with the original version.

Oh, but then I got carried away.  I started adding features.  Adding controls.  Adding control designers.  I took suggestions from people who are already using it.  I started asking myself, "What would help developers deliver web pages faster?"  In the end, it's going to have at least 5 or 6 controls instead of just one in the current version.  I've tried to make it easily extensible with a logical inheritance pattern.

In the end though, I decided not to maintain 100% compatibility with the first version.  The K2Submit control will be very similar, but have a different internal structure.  I had to change some of the events it fired slightly so I could take advantage of consistency and inheritance with some of the new controls.

In the end, I hope I have made the control library more useful for you.
