The Visual Studio .NET development environment is the most comprehensive developer tool ever created, putting that together with the .NET Frameworks' Class Libraries, the developer has everything he or she needs to get up-to-speed on Microsoft's latest revolution in application development. This book will guide the developer through using the VS .NET IDE, the Visual Basic .NET and C# language, and the supporting tools available from Microsoft to create Windows and Web-based applications. The market is full of books that pretty much say the same thing, which is already available in the help files, the author of this book has written and deployed over a dozen successful applications using Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework. All of his expertise and experience is used to give you the most comprehensive title on using Visual Studio .NET.
Making Your Forms Look Pretty
Making your forms look good is the key to a successful application. There are two useful tools in Visual Studio .NET that will help you put the finishing touches on your forms. They are the Layout toolbar and the Tab Order tool.The Layout toolbar enables you to align, resize, change spacing, and center controls on the form. Figure 3.16 demonstrates the Layout toolbar after selecting multiple controls on a form.

The Tab Order tool is a massive improvement to setting the order in which controls receive focus on a form. You can still set the TabOrder property in the Properties window, but using the Tab Order tool, you can visually set the tab order of controls. To get to the Tab Order tool, you must select a control on the form and then select the Tab Order menu item from the View menu. Figure 3.17 demonstrates the tab order being visually displayed on a form.
