How do you get the XP style using C#? Larry J. Siddens

[Colin Angus Mackay]

It is not built in unfortunately. However, you have come to the right place. Search CodeProject for XP Style[^] or click the previous link. --Colin Mackay--

I wrote an article here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetvisualstyles.asp[^]. If you target .NET 1.1 or higher, you can also call Application.EnableVisualStyles BEFORE you call Application.Run in your entry point (Main). This only works on .NET 1.1 and higher, though, and achieves the same functionality as what I document in my article (which works for .NET 1.0 and higher).

Heath, It was easy to use the Application.EnableVisualSytles() and make sure the controls FlatStyle was "System". Also, It worked in the C++ environment too! Cool! :-D Larry J. Siddens

Note that C++.NET (Managed C++, or MC++) compiles to the same thing as C#, VB.NET, or any other languages targeting the CLR, so long as your MC++ is written using purely managed code (no mixed mode). This is important to understand: all managed languages compile to (roughly) the same thing: IL. They also have access to the base class library, as well as other assemblies no matter source language they were written in - they all contain IL code.
