i'm developping on vb using visual studio 2013.
in my application i'm focusing on the graphics part more than the code. I'm looking if there is any other styles that i can apply for my forms, buttons , textboxs ... other than the classic forms and textboxs ?
for example can i create some buttons like the windows 8 buttons without creating a windows store project.
I suppose you work with vb and WinForms? If so, you might wanna try working with WPF instead of WinForms. To describe it very vagualy, it allows you to define your ui by xml (like css).
i know there is no TreeView control in Windows store app
Is there any alternative way to get TreeView control in Windows store app?
You can use winRT XAML Toolkit. It provides many controls for us, such as TreeView, ImageButton and so on.
The link is here: winRT XAML Toolkit.
I want to create UI for home page like a Window 8 for desktop application in vb.net using devexpress controls. How can I design the UI?
And I want to use TileLayoutControl for it. But I don't know how to use the tile controls of devexpress. How can I create my home page like Window8 Home page? I want to put various menus on home page as a Tile and when I click on 1 menu the form should be open.
I believe the desktop application is equals to WinForms/WPF application in the context of this question.
So, with DevExpress WinForms you can start from here: DocumentManager Windows UI View Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI View Examples.
With DevExpress WPF Controls you can start from here: Windows UI controls for WPF Overview.
Please also check the Windows UI controls for WPF Examples.
If you mean the Windows Store(WinRT) application please use the DevExpress Windows 8 XAML Controls. Check the Windows 8 XAML Controls Getting Started.

Just started using Visual Studio 2008 and was hoping to convert my VBA UserForms to VB.NET with the intent of upgrading my antiquated UserForm controls to newer Windows form controls that match the operating system.
The Windows forms I create in Visual Studio look great, but when I load them in PowerPoint or Excel, the form controls look just as ugly as they did before (e.g. plain, rectangular buttons).
Is there a way to employ modern controls in my Windows forms using VB.NET in Visual Studio?
You either use one of the many available custom drawn buttons. Or it could be that you have to turn on visual style to make them render better http://dotnet.mvps.org/dotnet/faqs/?id=xpvisualstyles&lang=en
I have a user control in vb.net application.
and i have a form in vb 6.
so in my vb.net applciation to this user control i need to mention the vb 6 form as its parent.
Means when i run a vb6 application i should see this user control as a part of that form.
Ahy help appreciated.
Take a look at the COM interop Toolkit.
It allows you to easily create com-visible .NET usercontrols, which can be used in VB6 for instance.
You can try saving it as a dom object in .net
After this, you can open it in vb6 in the menu components.
I've done it with guid class of .net but i don´t know what you and to do, but i think you should try it.
It is actually fairly easy to add some plumbing to a VB.NET User control to expose it via COM as an ActiveX control that can be used by VB6 and other COM clients.
Here is an article describing how to do that:
