Hello,

I'm familiar with custom styles in ASP.NET development, but I was wondering how styles are applied in windows forms controls; I'm developing a custom controls that I want to provide styling for. Do you use Style objects, or just expose the style properties directly?

Thanks.

Brian

Perhaps this will work: Build a base form class from which all your application's forms will derive. Then at some point in the form load process a event handler in the base form can spin thru all the controls on the form and apply the desired styles to the form. This way you can add a new form to your project and simply inherit it from your base form to get all the predefined look and feel.

There aren't windows form style sheets are there?
