Building a Custom Control

First of all, open a new Project. Select the 'Windows Control Library' icon from the New Project.

However I have not seen this icon at all.
I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

Please see the attachment.

Thanks for your help.

I don't think you will be able to build a windows control library using the express editions. You will have to get a full Visual Studio 2008 to be able to do these kind of projects.

I don't really know much about VB 2008 ( yet ), but do you have a Project Template entitled Class Library ¿

If so, you can perhaps use that as your project's template, then, in the Add New Item dialog box, you can select user Control.

At least, that's how it works with VB 2005 Express. :rolleyes:
