GUI designer tools

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone can recommend me a good GUI designer tool for
vb.net and vb6 applications out there in the market? Thanks!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure most people here just use the Visual Studio
IDE to design their forms. Visual Studio 6 for vb6 apps and Visual Studio
2003 for .NET applications.

P.S. Visual Studio 2005 is really nice. I've been playing around with the
Beta version, and the IDE is wayyyy better than 2003, including a class
designer, snapping grid lines for lining up items, and other cool features.

Thanks, i agree with you on the part about most people using the IDE to
design their application coz i do the same as well. But my boss wanted me to
look out there in the market to check if there are any of those GUI designer
tools which can help and i simply have no idea. I have yet to try out the
visual studio 2005 beta, will be trying it out soon. I heard quite a number
of positive comments about that.

SharpDevelop @ic#code

.... comes with a GUI designer too. My recommendation is VS.NET :-).
