Thanks for this anthony - exactly what I was looking for, I was looking to do something like this myself, but after using the trial it's so seemless and works perfectly, worth the money twice over!

Hi there<br />
<br />
Bit of an open question, I'm looking for some help on sprucing up my winform applications. I've been building them for a few years now and after dabbling with WPF winforms just look dated. <br />
<br />
I dont want to jump to WPF just yet, I use a lot of custom components/controls and I just dont think that WPF is mature enough for me to migrate yet - having to use 'work arounds' to get winform components working is just a pain. Hopefully come .net4.... :)<br />
<br />
So my question: I'm loooking for some tutorials on making winforms UI more appealing to the eye, how to's on design graphical UI's for winforms, using graphics and GDI+. How would I add drop shadows to controls? How can I use gradients? I've had a look and cant really find anything of use.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Winforms graphic UI - making it look pretty!

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
