Is anyone here going to the conference in Charlotte? As of now, myself and a fellow programmer are going. Just curious if I get to be in-awe, in-person of any of the members from the forums.

I've opted to take on a new project that will require some different tactics then I think PB was designed for. My main issue is that I need/want "pretty"/custom buttons. The only real option I've came up with is to use picture controls which load the image to display in a load event, and...
