VB.Net Controls

[Winston Kotzan]

Hello,

I am new to programming in Visual Basic .NET. I am currently converting
some programs originally written in Delphi and need some Windows Controls to
enhance my user interface. Are there any popular megasites that offer free
controls for use in applications? I'm looking for something analogous to
www.torry.net, a website for free Delphi components.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response. As I am investigating the net, I am finding that
there seems to be a far greater number of free Delphi components than there
are Visual Studio controls. This surprises me since Visual Studio is much
more widely used than Delphi. For example, Delphi has several free suites
available for Internet protocols, like the Indy (Winshoes) project. The
only Internet controls freely available on .Net seem to be the HTTP client
framework control.

Why does Delphi seem to have a greater availablility of 3rd party
components?

The Indy components are also available for VB.Net. As far as freely
available components go, there are plenty to be found. Check out the
following sites:

www.gotdotnet.com
www.codeproject.com
www.sourceforge.net

Also, Google the type of component you are looking for and you will find
it.
