Hi everyone,

I was working on a tutorial yesterday and an interesting question came up. I was working on a dll project and needed to add a box to get some info from the user. I used the Add Item option in the Solution Explorer (VB.NET 2005 Express) and I was offered a choice between a Windows Form or a Dialog Box.

My question is this: what is the difference between both of these choices? The one difference I noticed right away is that the dialog box includes OK and Cancel buttons right from the start. If they are the same thing, why does VB Express offer a template for each?

Hope to hear something soon. Happy New Year!

Dialog Box template it's just a Windows Form with OK/Cancel buttons. It's so common that you need a form with OK and Cancel buttons so they added this template as a commodity.
