VS uses Windows forms (Win Forms) or Web Forms, depending on the kind of app you're building. Most development shops use 3rd party controls because the granularity is greater and you can make them do things that aren't possible with the built in tools. VB, C#, and the other languages that are part of VS all use the same forms, whether they're the built in ones or 3rd party. You can also mix and match using just specific 3rd party tools with the built in tools to meet your needs. We use a lot of the built in controls, like panels, but we use 3rd party tab controls, combobboxes, textboxes, date/time controls, calendars, grids, and some others that escape me at the moment. We also use ActiveReports (which is very comfortable for Access programmers) rather than the built in Crystal reports and we use ComponentOne graphing tools.

Or is MS Forms used by default if a 3rd party product like Infragistics is not used?

VB.Net is VB 2005/VB 8. Technically, VB.Net was the version in VS 2003/VB 7, but don't worry about it. Only Microsoft pays attention to the exact name. ;o> Charlotte Foust -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Dan Waters Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 9:35 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Tab Control - vb.net Hi Charlotte, I was wondering about a tab control in VB.net as well (or should this be called VB 2005?) I depend greatly on these for my Access apps, and wonder if the VB tab control works in a similar way as those? Thanks!
