Visual styles an .NET Framework 2.0

[Emmanuel]

In .NET Framework 1.1 in order to enable visual styles we had to code:

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.DoEvents();

before anything visual, and then set the FlatStyle attribute of the controls
to FlatStyle.System.

Is all these needed on version 2.0 in order to achieve the same behaviour
(XP like controls) ?

Thanks

From the VS.net 2005 help:

"Prior to the .NET Framework 2.0, the FlatStyle property of some controls,
such as controls that derive from ButtonBase, had to be set to
FlatStyle.System in order for the controls to be drawn with visual styles. In
applications written with the .NET Framework 2.0, this is no longer
necessary."

Yes, but instead of coding it manually, you can set it in the project
property sheet. Just right click your project and select Properties from the
context menu. "Enable XP visual styles" is on the Application tab.
