Can't find simple drop down menu.

[Thomas Magma]

I must be blind, I am developing in MS Visual Studio 2008 Beta2 and can't
seem to find a simple drop down menu in the tool box. I see a ComboBox, a
MenuStrip and a ContextMenuStri p but no simple drop down menu. Am I blind or
just missing something?

Thanks,
Thomas

In VS2005 the MenuStrip is the simple drop down menu, haven't seen 2008 yet.

OK thanks Jeff I'll try playing with it. What about drawing simple shapes?
Where is that hiding? It's been frustrating coming from my old eVB
environment.

That's right, it's an old VB thing, doesn't exist in C#.

I find it hard to believe that MS removed the ability to visually draw
simple shapes, but then again, I seem to be staring into proof of that now
each and every day.
