    Well, there are some open-source projects, and some commercial components, that simulate the Metro UI for WinForms: [^].

      Of course YES. But, I don't understand why you are trying Metro UI for your Windows. However, Free : http://windowsformsmetro.codeplex.com/[^] If you are happy to spend $K ?? http://www.telerik.com/products/winforms.aspx[^]

              Why shouldn't i try that. is there an issue or something. Coz i thought that we could make our form look much more professional when compared.

                In my humble opinion, Metro isn't professional. I don't know of 2 people in the same room that like it.

                    There are many third party libraries that allows you to do achieve it. Google them. But you can create a simple Metro UI yourself in the windows form application. See the 'calculator' and 'Sticky notes' app that I have made here "geekattech.blogspot.com".

                            Really, how is anyone supposed to answer that question where we know nothing about your app or what your skill set is or what your app even looks like now?

                              If you need it looks like professional, you must need a professional to do it. If you really want to do it by yourself, then, third party UI controls like Telerik, Dev Express are the best solution.
