There i was looking for some good xp good looking icons (16x16) for my new windows applications im developing...i was looking for professional icons, cause this is gonna be a financial application with some market, so i thought paying for a good set of icons, royalty-free...
Register any copy of VisualStudio Express for Free and you get access to some really nice, royalty free icons. Higher quality than what has been posted but it's kind of limited in what's available.

I registered three VS Express products but it didn't let me get the royalty-free stuff
If I'm not mistaken the menus, toolbars and tabs are standard .NET 2.0. The status bar is standard too but with the RenderMode changed to Professional or ManagerRenderMode and the BorderStyle of the labels set to Bump. The section on the left looks like the work of XP Common Controls. Correct?
i try to avoid 3rd party controls...cause are very expensive and in most cases makes the application slow...winforms 2.0 controls are good looking...
winforms 2? how do i get that? or is that the standard controls in the toolbox of .net? sorry for the dumb question, also, do the controls look that way on win2000?

winforms 2.0 is part of the net framework 2.0 (VS 2005)...they have the color of the windows xp theme you adopt...in win 2000 they will have a classic look...like this:
zuperman, on the Account Details window, at the bottom of the white section at the top of the page, there is a raised border where it switches from white to grey. What property did you set to get that? I can't seem to get the same effect on a form I am making.
I don't see any horizontal line control. I really can't find anything that will give me the effect I see in that screen shot. I know it is going to be really obvious when I figure it out though.
Seriously though. Why isn't their a BeveledLine control in the standard set of controls?

all my input forms have that look...inherited from my own UI framework (see the images attached) ...the line its a simple group box with height=2
That line is obviously a GroupBox with the Height set to 2 because you can see on the far right end that the border for the right side is trying to be drawn (there's a little spot of grey on the white). I know this because I've previously used the same technique to get the same effect. The XPLine control in the XP Common Controls library draws a bevelled line like that without that issue. Also, you can simply use GDI+ to draw two lines, one grey and one white (or better ControlDark and Window), offset by one pixel. The fact that you can use GDI+ to get that effect and much more besides is the reason that there is no standard line control.
