Hi Tom,

This may not be what you mean, but you can do XP style controls by setting

Application.Ena bleVisualStyles ();
Application.Run (new MyForm);

and set FlatStyle of your controls to FlatStyle.Syste m

Tom,

To be able to see the XP style the current Theme needs to be Windows XP. This is set on Windows XP by default. However, on Windows 2003 the default is Windows Classic, and the Windows XP theme doesn't even appear to be available.

There is nothing you can do from the programming style, so if possible you need to install the Windows XP Theme on Windows 2003.

That I don't know. I but I don't think you can.
You might want to start a new thread with that question so it will appear unanswered.

Windows Server 2003 is supposed to include Framework 1.1 right. I don't have it here but have reports that the web is not running. The users say that the %COMPUTERNAME%\ASPNET user doesn't exist. Questions: 1. is this user replaced by the %COMPUTERNAME%\NETWORK SERVICE user in Windows 2003 Server (IIS6)? 2. if the ASPNET user still needed to run .NET apps and it's missing, how would you add to a Windows 2003 Server box?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
