From beginner to pro (part 1) - Custom controls

.Net libraries are a rather big business today. It's a shame that there's still not enough detailed step-by-step tutorials about how to make (for example) custom controls. Most of the resources are for real beginners or skilled professionals. When I started to develop my own .net custom controls I was confused. All the articles I found were so easy that I didn't get anything out of them. On the other hand I found those articles which were for true experts. It was a hard work to construct a list of tutorials which are suitable for developers with nearly any kind of skill level.

So here is my from beginner to pro list (part 1 - custom controls):
