Slider Bar in VB.net

[smartsarath2003]

Hi all,
I am upgrading from VB6 and started working with VB.Net (VS2005). One problem I have was controls avilable in VB.Net. I can use a slider bar in VB6, but couldn't find any quivalent in VB.net(.Net Framework Components)!! I don't know why :confused:

I can choose one in COM components, but these requires project generated DLL's to run. I want to distribute just the executable.

My questions are:
Is there any slider bar in VB.Net Framework Components?
If there is none, Can I use COM component and bundle everything into one Executable??

Also is it possible a list of controls in .Net as I find in vb6: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194784 ???

:thumb: many thanks in advance

I think the countrol you are looking for is now called the TrackBar in VB.net

Or

there is also the HScrollBar depending on what you are trying to achieve :)

Someone will make a bundle one day by making a book which shows how you do it in VB6 then showing how to do it in VB.Net.

I find the syntax much longer in VB.Net which makes it more difficult for me to remember. A good idea is to be able to press F1 on a VB.Net command in debug mode and get some help on the screen, with examples

This thought process has existed in VB6 for a while, but is slow to catch on in .Net. (F1 works, but most times its a totally useless explanation or more often than not "Information Not Found")

However, Microsoft have worked hard on the VS2008 platform and are providing a selection of example programs, some of which are actually useful.
