How do I create a windows form that looks like the Start page of Visual Studio 2008? For instance the dark blue raised label control that holds the text: Visual Studio Developer News.

Web links will be appreciated if they exist.

Only performance counts!

Hi Sylva,

The front page of Visual Studio 2008 is a TabPage in a TabControl. You can put a panel with Dock property to Top, set a picture to that panel. Microsoft doesn't publicly show the detail design of that page. Maybe that is is web page, host a WebBrowser into that TabPage and load the page. Then you should write CSS to design your web page and load it when the form is shown.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
