Visual Studio VB.NET WinForms Office-like Templates/Sample Projects

I am primarily a web developer but I am starting a WinForms
applications. In the past, I have seen sample applications,
starterkits, and/or Visual Studio Templates that are basically empty
Visual Studio projects that are setup to allow a programmer to create
an application with the look and feel of Microsoft Office and/or
Visual Studio. The project templates that I saw had a project file and
a few WinForms with Office-looking toolbars, treeviews, etc in them. I
have looked all over, but cannot find them. Does anyone know what I am
talking about? Does anyone have a link? I am using Visual Studio 2008
and VB.NET.

Basically, I am looking for a good starting point for my desktop
application. I am looking for Visual Studio project that has a few
WinForms that already have the GUIs created and the GUIs look like MS
Office.

Thanks. I appreciate.

I beleive that kind of Office-like GUI, - but may not cover the all -
is contained in your VS IDE's toolbox. For example MenuStrip control
for menu navigation, context menu for context purposes, buttons etc.
First try to overview control in toolbox.

I am not a .NET developer. I want the Developer's Edition of Visual Studio for use with my Access2000 databases.

Is/should it be impossible to get hold of this product? My understanding is that .NET doesn't offer that much as far as Access development is...

I'm currently experiencing a strange phenomenon: At my Office, Visual Studio takes a very long time to compile our solution (more than 1 minute for the first project). At home, Visual Studio compiles the same solution much faster (about 10 seconds for the first project). My home computer is only marginally faster than the one I have at the office (P4 2.53 vs. P4 2.4, same amount of RAM). On the slow machine, the CPU usage is very low,...

I hope that there is someone here that can help me. It's not directly related to this group but maybe someone here can help me. I wanted to deploy my Access database to another pc using the Access 2003 Developer Extensions. Check the web and found out that it is part of Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System, which in turn is a free add-on to Visual Studio 2005. Bought Visual Studio 2005 Pro.

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,...
