Hi guys,

I am developing a software and I want to make it in good appearance!!!!
As you see most of programs have a beautiful skins, I want too!! I have google it in days and I found a dll file called "DevComponents.DotNetBar2.dll" ( may you have heard about it) this file change my form skin to something like " microsoft office " visual style, but this file have no source code.
So, any body can help me with "How develop a form and list of controls depending on pictures designed prior?".

When I opened the form.designer in VB.net I found that this code:

Partial Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Then I knew that the form can be programmed and so its controls and make my class inherits from it....
Can this be achieved???!!!
Can I program my own form and its controls????

thanx

It would be wise, if you are after the razzle dazzle, to use WPF instead of Winforms.

WPF allows alot of glitter and sparkles for your gui.
