Hi, Is there anything analogous to a style sheet for winforms in
VisualStudio 2008? I am working on a large C# Windows forms project
after a few years of web development. I like the approach of
separating style from content and behavior. I have searched the
online help and web and have not found anything like a style sheet for
winforms in VisualStudio 2008. It seems like such a logical thing
that I feel like I’m just nothing using the right search terms or
thinking in the correct context. Does such a thing exist?

Thanks,
John
 
John,

A base form, you can inherit that and use it.

Beside that you can make usercontrols

Not as such, and definitely not anything cascading. I guess it's
possible to write such a thing yourself, but I'm not aware of anyone
actually doing so.

WPF has something to that effect, though.
 
Hi Pavel and John, Thanks for the responses. It helps to know I'm not
just overlooking something. I like John's base form idea. I think
that the best fit for me right now. WPF looks really interesting.
But, I've learned that I am the most productive when I work a step
back from the cutting edge.
