Microsoft Releases the Visual Basic .NET Power Pack

The Power Pack controls consist of:

• BlendPanel. This provides a background for a form where the color fades from one shade to another.
• UtilityToolbar. This is a toolbar whose look and feel is similar to the Internet Explorer toolbar.
• ImageButton. This is a button that displays a graphic over a transparent background.
• NotificationWindow. This displays text and graphics in a pop-up window (commonly known as “toast”).
• TaskPane. This is a container that provides collapsible frames for displaying additional information on a form.
• FolderViewer. This displays directories in a hierarchical format.
• FileViewer. This displays a list of the files in a specified directory.
