Switch to WPF. One of its selling points is a much more visually appealing interface.

Don't you mind in give me this code in C# ?
</div>


<div>
<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41506343-1"><span>		protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e)</span>
<span>		{</span>
<span>			LinearGradientBrush brush = new LinearGradientBrush(this.ClientRectangle, Color.Blue, Color.White, 45);</span>
<span>			e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, this.ClientRectangle);</span>
<span>			brush.Dispose();</span>
<span>		}</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

As soon I get more confidence in C# code I'm considering to migrate the project to WPF, since the control's internal code must be the same, ok?<br />
<br />
Just to conclude, do you know where to find forms templates to capture ideas on how to construct them (kind of visual models) &nbsp;to get &quot;inspiration&quot;?

I think I'm doing the way you mentioned, using especialized classes.<br />

The reason is that WF is much more closer the way I'm familiar to develop than WPF.

You can start mixing WPF into WF if you want! Have a look at <a href="http://emoreau.com/Entries/Articles/2014/05/Hosting-WPF-controls-on-a-Windows-Form.aspx" rel="ugc">http://emoreau.com/Entries/Articles/2014/05/Hosting-WPF-controls-on-a-Windows-Form.aspx</a>

Thanks for the guidance<br />
<br />
I'm going to consider it as soon I'm deeper in knowledge.

Hi Experts<br />
<br />
I would like to improove my C# WF forms and controls appearence, in general.<br />
<br />
I see there are very expensive options libraries to do this job.<br />
<br />
Do you know any free option (it couldn't be so sophisticated than these libraries, of course) to to get this job done ?<br />
<br />
It could be suggestions on how to produce more estetic &nbsp;WF too.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!

How to improve C# WF appearance without get expensive add-ins libraries?

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

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.
