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,

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

Greetings

I am currently taking a college course in Visual Basic.Net and I am a beginner. I bought Visual Studio.Net 2003 to do my homework at home. I built my first project and e-mailed it to myself at school. When I tried to open it in the lab, I got a message saying I couldn't open it because it was created with a newer version. Evidently the lab is using Visual Studio.Net 2002. My professor doesn't just want the executable file, he wants...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
