How do I quickly develop proffesional looking forms - do templates exist?
I am learning VB .Net and have done a number of excersises to create data forms etc.
In other languages, when developing applications, the majority of screens would be standard maintenance screens and I had a template library to help me very quickly put together an application. For example all the processing of Add/Edit was done - I just had to substitute the SQL table of the template program with the SQL table driving the new screen.
In VB. Net do developers normally start with a standard screen design as a template and edit the code accordingly to put in the actual SQL tables. If so how is this done? Are there any 3rd party products out there that do this?

So what I ended up doing was to create an MDI basic template with all the possible pieces that
I might need (ie. Menus,statusbar,premade code for copy,paste, print events, DB connections,etc.)
then I just would copy the template to start a new App.. Your Temple would have to fit your needs in the type of
company apps that you would use.
