                I downloaded it and it loads fine in Visual Studio 2013. Which version of VS 2010 are you using to open it?

                      The project was created in VS 2005, so VS 2010 should be able to read it and convert it (as VS 2013 Express did for me). As part of the conversion process it should also produce a log telling you of any issues encountered. I have just tried again and it works fine, so I do not have any more suggestions. You should check the directory containing the solution file to see if it has attempted the conversion process.

                        Did you get any issues with the Conversion wizard? Try doing it again, loading VS first and using File, Open Project (rather than double clicking on the solution file) You do have the Solution Explorer window open? (Ctrl-W, S) You're not going to see anything in the toolbox until you open a form from one of the projects in the solution.

                          Thanks guys we are 'starting' to get somewhere - the solution window finally revealed a few clues As I say I'm about 10 years behind - I could just about drag tools and write a bit of vb insie subs in vb6 This is blowing my mind - the bit of code I've managed to view doesn't look like vb - has the whole language changed in my missing years? IS this actually written in vb? Thanks again for your patience J

                            What made you think it was written in VB? (Although yes, the language has changed a lot since VB6, thank heaven!) The article is tagged C# and that is what it's written in.

                              Oh OK - maybe I can pick up C#........slowly :-) Apologies if I'm asking silly questions, but if you open the demo exe the project looks like the sort of thing I need - question is, is there a way I can open that demo (or the project file) in the equivalent of what used to be a design view?
