I want to create an IDE using VB 2005 where I add buttons, menus & such to a
form. Are there any resources that would help me understand how to do this?
 
Terry,

VB 2005 has it's own IDE(Integrated Development Environment). Are you
wanting to create a 'solution' in which you build a application?

If this is the case, there are many resources available. My first .NET
reference was a book by John Smiley called Learn to Program Visual
Basic.NET. It's a VERY basic beginners book, but it helped me to understand
a lot of the 'geek speak', as it were, about vb.net. My current text is
Beginning Visual Basic 2005 by Thearon Willis and Bryan Newsome. If you're
ahead of the game there, I'm afraid the others here will need to help you.

Terry,

The first thing you need is the VBC (Visual Basic Compiler) which is in
every SDK.

Than you can make it as nice as you wish.

Be aware that you have to do a lot more than you think, by instance set the
references, set the imports, do the linking, do the make file etc.
