Hello i have an old project from Visual studio 2003, and when i convert it to
the new Visual Studio 2005 project, everything works perfectly, the exception
being the look/feel of the application !!!

When i create a new app in VS2005 the combo boxes, and edit boxes have this
sleek thin blue border around them, round edges for buttons, etc..,
BUT the converted project from 2003 VS still has the regular 3d box like
appearance around the damn combo boxes and edit boxes !!! i can't seem to get
it to work with the sleek look,

Does anyone know what the problem is?

A call to Application.EnableVisualStyles() is missing (in Main(), before
Application.Run()), maybe?
