    Is there a way to change the appearance of a form? For example, when you view iTunes in Windows, the form is gray.

    ----- *** Never give me an answer having anything to do with Visual Studio. I don't have this because I have two computers, one being my dad's mac, which is connected to the internet, the other being my pc, which is, sadly, not connected to the internet. The setup for the Visual C# program I think is called a "bootstrap" program, and it needs to connect to the internet to install the program. THEREFORE I cannot install this program onto my pc.***

      you change the color by setting it in the designer. There are many other properties you can set there. I recommend buying a book on Winforms.

          OK - you and I have covered at length before the various ways you can get the VS2005 C# Express Edition, however - all the designer does is expose properties on the form, you can set those properties in code yourself, if you need to.

            Ever thought about using another IDE, like SharpDevelop, for example? I'm pretty sure, SharpDevelop can be installed without an active internet connection and does have designer support.

              yeah, but I kind of like typing the code in by myself.

                There's a word for this: Masochism. Sure, you can build .NET applications using Notepad and csc.exe, but why not use the possibilities the platform gives you?

                  OK, I finally got VS to install on my computer.


                  If I had a sig, it would probably go here.
