In this session, we will discuss how to develop designable .NET components and Windows controls with Visual Studio .NET. These components and controls, written in managed code and built on the common language runtime, provide developers with a great new mix of development ease similar to that of Microsoft Visual Basic. In addition, they deliver the power of lower-level programming that is more commonly associated with ATL or MFC. The rich facilities, especially design-time support provided by Visual Studio .NET, allow components to take advantage of that designer architecture, so that they can look and behave like the components that will ship with Visual Studio .NET.
