HI.
I was just wondering. If i download a project (c# or vb.net)from 'the code project' which was made in 2006 the design looks different, i mean when i run the program. The buttons looks 'old' in compare to the new windows 7/vista buttons. Is there any way to change this? is it a dll file?
Thank you.

Solution 1

The original was built using a different version of the .Net Framework, and so sports the old style appearance. You might try setting your IDE to build using a newer version to see if the components have been updated, but you may have to replace the controls explicitly to utilize more modern versions.

I can't find that setting. Do you know where it is?

No, I don't know where to change it in an existing project; the only time I see it is when I create a new project. Try creating a new empty project based on .Net 3.5, copy the files to the working directory for that project, then use Add Existing... to incorporate the files into the new project. I think that will work, but I haven't tried it myself.

Right click the project in Solution Explorer and click Properties. You can select the "Target Framework" on the "Application" tab.
