In VB.NET is there a library of template dialogs I can use? It’s easy to create a custom dialog and inherit from that, but it seems like there would be some templates for that sort of thing.

I just need something simple like Save/Cancel, Yes/No, etc.

Edit: MessageBox is not quite enough, because I want to add drop-down menus, listboxes, grids, etc. If I had a dialog form where I could ask for some pre-defined buttons, each of which returned a modal result and closed the form, then I could add those controls and the buttons would already be there.

  1. Why not create your own template? I’ve done that with several types of forms, not just dialogs. It is a great way to give yourself a jump-start.

    Create your basic dialog, keeping it as generic as possible, then save it as a template.
