modern GUI

What kind of tools should I need for developing for Windows in Visual Studio? Thank you very much.

Answer 1

If you are doing this in .NET, targeting Windows, I would suggest you use WPF . Visual Studio 2010 has all the tools built in to build a GUI like that. There are loads of tutorials on how to do this, I found this one in 24 seconds.

If you would like it to be fairly platform independent, targeting Linux, OSX, Windows etc you probably would like to use Qt . Qt has a pretty good editor focused on developing in C++ using cute called Qt Creator but if you are focused on using Visual Studio there is an add-in that might help you.

Edit: There is a similar question here on stackoverflow that might help you: Creating a nice GUI in WPF

Answer 2

If you want to develop in win-forms I suggest using 3rd party control vendor , such as Telerik or Dev-express.

Telerik's support is very good and their win-forms controls are pretty stable around now , You could download a free trial to try it out.
