VB.NET: how to make the form in WinXP style

Hi X-perts,

I am building a windows form in VB.NET and run it as COM DLL from VBA excel.

The form looks visually great in Visual studio Designer (all Win XP styles, rounded corners etc etc). But when I build it and run, it shows a standard system style like old VBA forms

How can I fix this?

Thanks

I don't have .exe file.

It is a COM DLL

The question can be rephrased: how to make a COM DLL for VBA application including a windows form with XP style?

When you select a Class project in VS, it doesn't allow selecting XP Styles for assembly.

So, how can I do this?
guys, sorry for a similar thread. I was not sure what the problem is - either because of a missing control references in the VBA application or .NET problems or windows settings. That's why I tried to cover all angles
