Need direction

[contronics]

I am looking to have a form in my project that displays a sort of network dashboard. Such as graphic displaying the logical network layout where I can hover over the system and show details. I have thus far been unable to find anything similar that would give me a direction as to what to use. I know how to get the details into a database table, but not what type of control to use to display the layout. Can anyone give me a direction to search? I would appreciate it, thanks

I can't quite visualize how this would look, so a bit more information might be useful. Can all of the elements be drawn onto pictureboxes, or do they have to be drawn directly onto the form as graphical elements? If you can have the elements in pictureboxes, or panels, then you can arrange them onto the form as needed. That would make the 'hover over' part simpler, but not all that much so. However, what WOULD be simpler would be arranging the design on the form, as you would be dealing with blocks.

What I am talking about is something similar to the network view of nagios or the network view of the GUI version of NMAP. I think the NMAP GUI is closer to what it is that I want. The data as I said isn't something that should be an issue, its just what the best method of getting the screen drawn in the way that I want it. http://www.simplygeek.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/zenmap.jpg This image is very close to what I am looking for.
