I got some request for the old vb.net 1.1 versions of the controls which are not online at codeplex.

You can download it from this site now but they will be completely unsupported (mostly because I don't have VS2003 installed anymore...) and I don't know if this version is the latest.

It is the latest that I've found on my backup but if somebody has a more current version please share it.

Here are the download links

	XPCC.net 1.1 Sourcecode
	XPCC.net 1.1 Setup Files

I'm proud to anounce that the XP Common Controls are part of the newly released book "Windows Developer Power Tool" by James Avery and Jim Holmes. This book contains references to over 170 free and open source tools, components and frameworks, all of them coming with a mini user's guide.
Please check out their homepage at http://www.windevpowertools.com or buy the book here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596527543/infozerk-20 - it will save you a lot of time and money when creating your next .net project.
My thanks to Jim and James for asking me to contribute to this book.

When I was starting to develop in VS.net I wanted that nice XP-Look for all of my programs. The problem is, that Visual Studio shipped without most of them. The most missed controls where the Taskbox/Taskbar control and the Grouped ListView Contol.
I ran into implementations of some of the controls on the internet (namely vbAccelerator and the TaskVision Sample on http://www.windowsforms.net) and into a document provided by Microsoft named "Windows XP Design Guidelines". This document provides detailed information on some of the new controls and I started to recreate some of these controls for VS.net (with hints and help from the sites mentioned above - thank you again!)
