VS2010

EDIT;
Okay I am creating a Dock for programs to reside as a shorcut/similar to apple OS dock or vaio gate dock (if you google them you will see what im attempting to create.) The language I have chosen to use is C#.

Which C# template in Visual Studio 2010 is the most equipped and more ideal.

Please bear in mind I do not wish to have the Minimize, Resize or Close function neither do I want a box drawn around. A template which can be started from scratch to make something fancy.

Therefore which template do I use in VS2010 out of those listed in C#?

THANKS!

What is a dock?

A dock is something which will hold shortcuts to other programs, for example an objectdock or like programs such as VaioGate (googlethat)

Thanks for asking

I guess you could adapt my Code Snippet Manager[^]. However your description is still somewhat vague.

What you have made is a great idea. However it is way off topic for me to adapt it. Im sorry I know it's very vague perhaps you might understand if I say I am trying to make a program preferably like the Apple Mac Command Dock located on the Lower horizon of the screen but as a movable/editable dock; for software shortcuts.

Sorry, but I know nothing about Apple products.

There are no template specific for that...

You should probably start with a WPF application template.

WPF would be ideal for that if you want to have visual effects.

You can look at videos on the following site to see some of the possibilities of WPF.

I have not yet used WPF much as I have works primarily win WinForms. With WinForms you won't have nice effects and transitions as in WPF but it is easier to learn.

You might also want to take a look on available third party component... It might be possible that someone has already done a similar component and it would then be much easier to use.

I have found what I have been looking for;
A guide to the templates in Visual Studio 2010 explaining the templates and or project types.[^]
