 VB.net & Windows XP
my company has aquired the "Designed for Win Xp logo" and is moving up to VB.net form VB6 . I want to know if the User Interface in Vb.net can be done according to Xp standards.

Well, command buttons and things like that in WinForms will not automatically turn into the XP style buttons when running on a WinXP box.
At least not the set of controls that comes with Beta2.

 More on WindowsXP styling
I know this is a month old topic, but I found something very interesting about WindowsXP styling.
Open .NET and look at your source code. Have you noticed that the scroll bar is not XP Styled? Well! We can fix that! Just like mentioned previously in this topic, take the (apparently universal) manifest file, copy it to the folder with .NET's IDE EXE (acronym overload!) in it (mine was at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio.NET\Common7\IDE"), and rename it to "devenv.exe.manifest". Now start up .NET! Notice that all scroll bars and combo boxes now are XP styled.
Fun huh? Don't you feel powerful? 
The fun doesn't stop there! Try Microsoft Word!
Also, this worked for some old VB6 programs I had made.
