The Line control is gone from VB.NET, as is the Shape control. Under .NET,
you have to draw them yourself using Graphics methods.

If you're looking for 3D lines, then an alternative might be the
ControlPaint class. That has methods for drawing 3D borders of rectangles,
and you can specify which side(s) to draw, so you can simulate 3D lines like
you see in wizard forms by only drawing one side of the rectangle.

Hi,

A quick workaround:
Use a GroupBox control
Set it's Text property to Null
Set it's Height (or Width for vertical lines) to 2

There is no line control any more.

Actually don't use the Groupbox control. It's a container control and has a
window be default and thus eats resources for no reason.

Use the label control to accomplish the same thing with way less resources.

Wholly smokes.... look at this crosspost list!... anyway, Labels or Frames
(aka "GroupBox" (sheesh) controls) are fine as long as you're only drawing
Horizontal or Vertical lines.
