With the launch of ComponentArt's Product Forums in the spring of 2004, we have seen rapid growth in the community of developers who are using our components. Our forums have become an essential tool for our customers to exchange implementation ideas, raise technical support issues, and collaborate with the ComponentArt development team.

As the community has grown, weve noticed that certain individuals stand out in their ability and willingness to help other users. We see this as a highly valuable contribution, and have decided to acknowledge and reward these people for their efforts. The ComponentArt Most Valuable Professional Program is designed to do just that.

Demonstrated knowledge of Microsoft's .NET development platform and ComponentArt's products.
