Why Better SplitButton?

The standard .NET ToolStripSplitButton is limited to toolbars and doesn't work as a standalone control. Better SplitButton fills this gap by providing a proper split-button control that can be placed anywhere on your form, with native Windows theme support and full customization options.

Better SplitButton is free for non-commercial use. Commercial licenses include full source code and are very affordable.
