(Also, is there a C# reference.) ~DtD (Sorry if this seems easy to do, I'm new to C#) I think you mean the title text of your window (which will also appear on the button in the taskbar that refers to your application).

Can anyone tell me where to get them I got the impression that I would get them with Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I installed it (English version onto a Windows XP system) but no luck. I've spent days looking for the silly things -- help, please! They should be only with VS8 Team. Pro only has the x64 compiler. They should also be with the Windows SDK too, since that has the IA64 compiler with it, but its a 1GB download.
