I'm looking to provide users of a new Windows Forms (2.0) app with a
messaging system that looks and feels very much like a typical news reader.
I understand that there are reference apps available for ASP.NET forums
(DNN, for example). But what about for Windows Forms? Are there any
reference apps that I may be able to disect/emulate? If not, what controls
would be involved in the creation of such a feature for a Windows Forms app?
TreeView + ListView + rich text editor?... or something else?

Thanks!
 
Hi,

Take a look at some RSS programs, they use a similar approach

you will use a treeview for the NGs list, a listview in detail mode for the
messages of a particular group and a textbox (or something similar) to
display the messages
