It is pretty easy, but depends on what do you mean by Button or Control. There are different UI libraries. For which one?
What have you tried so far?

This buttons are very far from real buttons. Basically, this is a combination of the text with a bitmap. You could use, for example, Label and PictureBox put on a user control or a custom control (thank you, Maciej). Dock the label using DockStyle.Top, and PictureBox using DockType.Fill, choose appropriate sizes and Padding.

Don't forget event handlers on both controls, such as Click.

+5And additionally... it's possible to create custom control ;)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 24-Oct-14 2:01am

Thank you, Maciej.
Do you mean "custom control" as opposed to "user control". Good point. Ditch the designer, embrace programming for real men. :-)
I'll add a word to the answer, to take your suggestions into account.

Yeah. I added my answer ;)

can you give me example sir ? .. for my reference..

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 24-Oct-14 2:03am

Oh... it would take time. Is it really necessary? Look, you need some experience in making controls anyway. How about that: try to do it yourself and show the code sample if something goes wrong?

when i create somethink like that (like in the image above) using buttonControl .. the style is different .. then i think its not create from buttonControl because the default style is different.. is it create from another control ? or is there a specific control like that? so i just need to drag and drop?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 24-Oct-14 2:35am

I already told you: don't create from Button control. I told you exactly from what control to create: from System.Windows.Forms.Control, or, using the designer, UserControl (call it drug-and-drop, if you want, but writing code with your own hands would be better and faster).
For example, kook at the reference provided by Maciej.

I'd suggest to start here:
Developing Custom Windows Controls Using Visual Basic .NET[^].
Walkthrough: Authoring a User Control with Visual Basic .NET[^]
It's quite simple. As Sergey mentioned you need to use few standard controls, like Label and PictureBox ;)
Try!
