    Visual Studio .NET 2003 Installation

    Hi,

    I'm currently working on an application written in Visual Basic .NET. I want
    to create some User Controls in order to add some specific functionality to
    the application.

    While reading on msdn I found out that there is a kind of project that you
    need to create in order to be able to make custom controls and it's called
    "Windows Control Library project".

    I just can't seem to find such a project with all the good will in the world.

    Can anyone tell me why it is like that and what I have to do in order to
    solve it.
    What I have installed is the following:
    Microsoft Development Environment 2003 Version 7.1.3088

    The installed products are:
    Microsoft Visual Basic .NET
    XMLSpy2005 Visual Studio .NET Edition

    Please help me,
    sl33py [at] hotmail [dot] com

      Do you definitely have Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed and not the
      original Visual Studio .NET? When I select File / New / Project and click
      either Visual Basic Projects or Visual C# Projects I can see a 'Windows
      Control Library' project type in the top right of the Templates box.

          I certainly have Visual Studio .NET 2003. But I can't tell which components
          are installed or which components that came with the install disks. The
          installation was done by someone of the "Hardware" department. He had a box
          and it read "Visual Basic .NET". I'm at home now and here I can make custom
          controls (they are fun) and I can also connect to an Oracle DB (which I can't
          at work, but am supposed to do very soon)

          btw, if you know why my png images have a blue border (they shouldnt have)
          I'd be glad to know about it too :)

          Thanks for your response Leon
