The ESRI templates from the SDK make it pretty easy. If you add a Dockable Window component to your add-in, you'll have access to the form designer to add fields, buttons, etc. There is also a code view like VBA for responding to form events. Good luck!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:02:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/converting-vba-form-to-net/m-p/568449#M15313 LesleyBross 2010-08-26T18:02:37Z
