Rod,
I guess, as you've already said, VB developers instinctively seek out 3rd party controls. As a person coming to .NET after many years in VFP (I haven't quite given up on it yet), I guess I expected more out of the box.
I know that when I looked at some VB forms that coworkers created, I used to be shocked that they had to write code to do what a VFP textbox could do simply by setting format and input masks. Even more shocking to me was the lack of a built in numeric spinner control.
Its good to hear that the next version of VS.NET has a better set of controls. Lets hope they're as good or better than the 3rd party stuff (which is pretty good to begin with).
