Those are not for forms, they're for images (icons, bitmaps, etc.)

The "shape" concept that VB5/6 had is gone from WinForms. AFAIK you have to
draw them manually now.

Hi All, To plot a circle with changeable radius by moving mouse operation, I always write "pDC->SetROP2(R2_NOTXORPEN)" in Visual C++. My question is how to realize it in .Net (I'm using VS 2003). The following is a section of plotting a circle. void TCircleMaze::PlotCircle(int m_CirNo,CDC * pDC) { CRect rect; CPen * def_pen = pDC->SelectObject(&redPen); int def_R2 = pDC->SetROP2(R2_NOTXORPEN);

Is 2005 worth the upgrade? Some time ago, I read it was really slow. Is this true? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, how easy is it to upgrade from 2003 app to 2005? Does it break everything in typical, MS "Sorry, that's your problem" style? Thanks, Shane

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't look like Microsoft writes a lot of apps in .Net (although they certainly push it for others). What does MS write using pure .Net? If applications like Symantec's antivirus, NeatReciepts or Franklin Covey's PlanPlus for Windows is any guide, .Net applications are slow and clunky. But, maybe the developers of these apps simply don't know how to write a decent app with .Net.
