Updated Release: Version 1.4.1 (Jul 27, 2009)

bpell — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:04:44 GMT

This is version 1.4.1 of the Windows Forms Aero Controls for .NET 2.0 project. Its contains a Windows Control Library with controls that mimic some of the Windows Vista and Windows 7 native controls and modules that exploit some of Aero's advanced GUI features.

The release zip file contains the following files:

VistaControls.dll (library)
VistaControlsApp.exe (demo application)
VistaControls.xml (intellisense documentation)
VistaControls and VistaControlsApp debug database

You can add the library (VistaControls.dll) as a reference to a project and start using it. You can also add the controls to the Vistual Studio toolbox in order to place them into the WinForms designer via drag&drop.

The source code is in C#. Currently, the controls use the native APIs available on Windows Vista. The controls have not yet been tested on earlier versions of Windows and do not provide non-native fallback alternatives (they will most likely crash on earlier versions of Vista). A simple interface for checking OS support is available: it is however up to the user to provide UI alternatives for older Windows platforms or for Mono.
