FGump Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Just a quick question for those of you already familiar with VS2005 beta. I briefly worked with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and was very disappointed that when creating a Windows Form, it had the "classic" Windows look to it. I know that creating a manifest file, etc... fixes that. So, I'm wondering if MS has finally given Windows Forms the XP look right out of the box (for buttons, comoboxes, etc..) and did away with the need for manifest files? I saw a quick demo on Visual Basic .NET Express 2005 and it looked like it was there. Should the pro version have everything that Express version has plus more? Thanks, FGump Quote
jmcilhinney Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Yes and yes. For VS.NET 2003, get Skybounds free VisualStyles component from http://www.skybound.ca Quote
penfold69 Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 I second using the skybound controls for 2003 - we've used them for nearly a year now, and we have had very few issues. Those issues we have had have been dealt with by the developer (Andrew Young) within 24 hours. So, excellent product, and excellent support! B. Quote
